The creator of Hamilton has said Donald Trump is welcome to attend his musical, the cast of which Trump attacked this week for "harassing" his running mate. "We welcome anyone," Lin-Manuel Miranda told the BBC, adding that the American president-elect's daughter had seen the show and written "wonderful things". Mr Trump demanded the cast of Hamilton apologise for addressing Mike Pence from the stage after Friday's show. Miranda, however, insisted Mr Pence had been spoken to in a "respectful" way.
Later, as he prepared to leave, he was asked by cast member Brandon Dixon to stay in the auditorium and listen to a brief address.
"When we found out he was coming we welcomed him, we asked him to lead on behalf of all Americans and we related to him the anxieties that some of us feel," Miranda told the BBC. "But I feel like we did it in a really respectful way." Miranda went on to answer in the affirmative when asked if Mr Trump would be welcome to attend a Hamilton performance.
His comments, on Saturday, preceded Mr Trump's tweets criticising Mr Pence's treatment. he Broadway hit musical Hamilton address Mr Pence Miranda was a vocal supporter of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during the US presidential election. The award-winning actor and writer, who gave up the title role in Hamilton earlier this year, is currently in London rehearsing for his role in Disney's upcoming Mary Poppins sequel.
Mr Pence's experiences at Hamilton prompted Mr Trump to lambast the Hamilton cast for their "terrible behaviour". He also suggested the show itself was "highly overrated".
Hamilton, a musical about America's first treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton, won 11 Tony awards in June and is one of the hottest tickets on Broadway.

Be wary of actors and theaters !
Pffffft.
Says the guy whose ears are still burning from the blast that The Donald delivered his direction.
The performers and the crowd might be way more circumspect with the President-Elect in the room than they were with VP-E Mike Pence, but that ship has already sailed. Some things just cannot be unsaid or unseen.

What so they can get another bite at the apple? What kind of fool would attend that play after what they did.
No Effin Way
Heads of state always welcome the counsel of stage actors.
LOL!
Sadly, JW Booth was a lot more talented and certainly more good-looking than any of the current morons on B’way.
Trump is as welcome at Hamilton as Bill Clinton with Hillary during bedtime.
They realize that their $$$$ fortunes are going down the tubes. Who would want to see them?
I hope TRUMP ignores them.
Admiral Akhbar advises against going to the play.
Check the TICKET PRICES!!!
They’ll blow your SOCKS off!
No way in blazes should Trump attend.
Their national tour starts in March. Perhaps advance tickets buyers are being as “welcoming” to their show as they were to Mike Pence.
“We like to welcome people and yell at them for no reason.”
True.
Here’s an idea. Once Trump is in the White House, he can invite the cast there to do a show. See if they decline that honor and all the publicity it would bring.
You couldn’t pay me to go!
