Donald Trump is not happy Mike Pence wasn't welcomed with open arms by Broadway on Friday night.
Trump demanded that the cast of Hamilton apologize to the Vice president-elect after they stopped the show to address him directly about their fears.
The president-elect, who took to Twitter on Saturday morning to complain, claimed the cast had 'harassed' Pence.
'Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing,' Trump wrote. 'This should not happen!'
'The Theater must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!'
But the Hamilton cast began their address, which was delivered by actor Brandon Dixon, by thanking Pence for coming to the show.
'Vice president-elect Pence we welcome you and truly thank you for joining us here,' Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, said onstage.
Dixon then told Pence that the cast was a reflection of the Americans who were worried about their future following the presidential election.
'We sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,' he said.
'But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our Americans values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us.'
Dixon was quick to defend the cast on Saturday morning, directly replying to Trump's tweets.
'Conversation is not harassment sir,' Dixon wrote. 'And I appreciate Mike Pence for stopping to listen.'

I agree! He talks to us directly and he can immediately hear from us.
Trump and Pence need to shun the official US entertainment industry. By all means invite the few supportive celebs to a White House dinner, but abolish the White House correspondents dinner, avoid all talk shows, Oprah, etc, and be very wary of who gets invited to the Kennedy Centre honours (where the honourees are seated with the President). I predict four years of this crap from the media and entertainment industry and Trump needs to deny the attention seekers any opportunity to grandstand at his expense.
Thank you for putting it in words I wouldn’t feel comfortable using myself but I sure can appreciate when someone else hits the target right on the BULLseye!
You are either “with Trump” or you are “against Trump”. There ain’t no halfway! Sometimes people show just enough support of Trump to be respectable on this site while all the time they’re really just stabbing him in the back.
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how Trump uses the Lefts own tactics against them!
this article is very good at hiding its condescending tone
I agree!
The best show of all will be the right wing revolution... Hold on to your hats Broadway
The city, theater, actors, and producer should be boycotted until they apologize individually and together.
There are always other sewers to visit.
And our strength.
Why bother with the arts assholes?
Ignore them and forge ahead
It’s a stupid PC play anyhow
Would Trump go watch Girls being filmed

We’ve groomed minorities to dominate the majority based on mostly racial but also religious and gender identity criteria
If you criticize back you’re tyrannical
It’s incredible
In 15 years Islam has become an aggrieved protected minority in America more so than before 9-11
I bet everyone here like myself figured Islam would be on a 5” year shit list after 9-11
It shows how insidiously weak we are and how open borders has been so disastrous
We allowed in people who wish to destroy us under the pretense of helping them
Crazy
Look how millennial and X just voted
Gotta be a 180 somewhere
Imagine telling a boomer in 1970
Hey you’re gonna be the high water mark against leftist youth yourself in 2016
LoL
Cheech and Chong response
This self-absorbed sphincter has disgraced his proud heritage. Nobody likes an uppity Broadway performer.
Yeah I definitely agree with that. GWB was a good fella but he allowed himself to get beat to death. It’s nice to see President Trump slap back against the prevailing culture. But he needn’t go too far.
We’re not Democrats, we don’t worship idols.
I completely agree.
Americans want him to shake things up.
Let’s let the entertainment industry and the MSM starve for attention.
OH ya know...
I think I get it now.
Trump is Framing the Debate? Is that what it is?
CLEVER!!

What’s so dumb about it is it shows such ignorance about business. You don’t publically diss your customers. This ignorance about basic business practice is why liberal talk radio failed.
