A Trump supporter tried disrupting a performance of the Robert De Niro-directed “A Bronx Tale: The Musical” on Saturday — standing up during the curtain call and displaying a “Keep America Great!” flag toward the audience.
“The times we live in,” tweeted audience member Joe Del Vicario, along with a pic showing the Broadway protest.
“At the end of [the performance], a man turned around and faced the audience to show us how big of a pair he has,” Del Vicario explained. “He was escorted shortly after.”
Several people in attendance took to social media to document what happened Saturday night at the end of the 8 p.m. showing of “A Bronx Tale” — which is directed by De Niro and four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.
Photos posted on Twitter showed the Trump supporter standing up in the front row with the “Keep America Great” campaign flag in his hands as cast members take their final bow.
“TRUMP 2020,” the flag said.

Too bad it didn’t say “F DeNiro”
I am sure that the NFL players’ association will defend the protester for his exercise of free speech.
Plays = Where Old Actors go too Die.
Haha. A little taste of their own medicine.
Hopefully he didn’t have to buy the tickets.
Completely off-topic, but the late Akira Kurosawa once listed Godfather II as one of the 100 best movies ever made, while Godfather I did not make the list.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming...
What’s wrong with Godfather II ???? it is a masterpiece.
(I think you mean GF 3)
Once again, it's OK for a liberal to disrespect the President in front of millions of people, including small children, but for a conservative to try to do the same thing to a small, directed, audience is not acceptable. Liberals have no moral compass; only their own set of rules which only apply to them.
Brian Strumwasser, a hair department supervisor on “A Bronx Tale” and several other productions, agreed — saying the man “disrespected” the cast and crew.
“Whoever the low life scum bag who thinks it’s ok to post their political views at a Broadway show and disrespect everyone there who paid to watch a show that is ALL ABOUT INCLUSION was thankfully removed from the theater Saturday night,”
Bet they didn't feel the same way after De Niro's comment about Trump.
Great username. :-)
.
But it would be fine if the actors in the play did it. In fact, it would be heralded.
Sorry, i just don’t see any great acting outta him. I see a rude New Yorker who always plays a rude New Yorker.
LOL. If these dopes like DeNiro keep shooting off their mouths, expect more of this to happen.
Like when the Hamilton cast lectured Mike Pence when he was in the audience.
“.....Godfather III was dreadful.”
You’re not kidding! I feel asleep in the movie theater when I saw “Godfather III”....the only time in my life I ever feel asleep in a movie theater.
The movie was WAY too long, and way too boring.
One noticeable difference, the media showed the Hamilton Players yelling at Pence for weeks. This will never see the light of day in the media and definitely won't be supported as a peaceful protest.
Agreed, they are hypocrites.
Awesome !!!
We will all have to agree that we disagree, but of course I am right I just respect your right to be wrong.
