The “Hamilton” actor who drew fire from Donald Trump for addressing Vice President-elect Mike Pence from the stage said Monday he’s not apologizing — and invited the president-elect to come see the Broadway smash himself.
Brandon Victor Dixon said he spoke to Pence on behalf of the cast at the request of show producer Jeffrey Seller and has no regrets for being the face of Friday night’s controversial monologue.
“There’s nothing to apologize for,” the actor told “CBS This Morning.”
“When you have a platform, art is meant to bring people together and meant to raise consciousness. And when you have a platform like that, I told Jeffrey Seller after the show, I applaud you all for not ‘throwing away your shot,’ for taking a moment to spread a message of love, to spread a message of unity.”
The line “I’m not throwing away your shot” is one of the most memorable in “Hamilton,” as the title character vows not to shy away from a huge challenge.
After “Hamilton” ended Friday night at the Richard Rodgers Theatre — with Pence in attendance — Dixon pleaded with him to “uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

What about encouraging rape?
Have we forgotten what happened to Joe Biden and his family when the Bidens attended a Broadway Play shortly after Obama was elected in 2008?
Joe Biden and family were booed by the audience.
At the end of the play White Cast Members stood on stage and told Biden - in no uncertain terms - that Obama should NOT turn his back on White Americans - that he should be the President of All Americans - not just blacks. Then the audience booed Biden again.
A few brave souls thought the audience and cast were tacky but they were shouted down.
Oh wait, that never happened. Why? Because conservatives aren’t the rude assh*les ‘liberals’ are...
Delivered with condescending, accusing arrogance. It wasn’t a ‘plea’. It was a resounding admonition and condemnation for a man who hasn’t even been installed in his office.
How about we pull the Endowment to the Arts?

>> When you have a platform, art is meant to bring people together
Brandon and Jeff shouldn’t have a platform.
Why should he? Rudeness to Republicans gets rewarded. He’ll be offered a tv show, another play, a movie. He’ll be invited to that annual press party in Washington and if he’s lucky, he’ll be at some White House event before January. His career is made.
Other vapid individual, glorying in his/her 15 minutes of fame.
Do you remember Macys putting Trump down way in the beginning of the primaries.
Have not been back since!!
BOYCOTT MACYS!!!
I spent some time yesterday trying to determine at what level and where these guys get federal funding and tax breaks. Those should be discussed, even stopped. Maybe put Governor Palin or someone similar in charge of the National Endowment for the Arts. While I have repeatedly said NO ROLE for Lyn’ Ted in Trump administration, but as he likes reading Dr. Seuss and worrying about woho is using who’s bathroom, maybe he’d be perfect to shake up their little world—throw in PBS, NPR, and all the rest.
how about a ticket refund? i don’t think one should have to pay for being ambushed.
HAMILTON? BROADWAY? I would rather spend 2 hour walking my dog thru the a field and forest.
Or, a la godfather he can receive an offer that he can't refuse: SHUT MOUTH.
:o)
Democrats like to bring people together by dividing everyone up into little groups(black, brown, white, male, female, gay, straight, etc.) And then they like to viciously attack the “bad” groups.
I can think of better ways to bring people together, but apparently Democrats cannot.
THIS is cultural Marxism on display. Marxists believe that their politics should, and must, infuse everything - art, theater, music, literature, religion, sport, etc... This is how a reformed socialist man is created and all bourgeois tendencies are eliminated.
America now swims in it, we now accept it as normal, and we have no understanding how it came upon us.
Ignore these gnats.
Apologize? Heck, he’ll wear it as a badge of honor among his fellow lefty extremists for the rest of his life. In his Wiki page his most significant accomplishment will be listed as “the guy who dressed down Mike Pence at the end of a performance”
Who cares.
Trump/Pence won!
