President-elect Donald Trump doubled down on his attack on Broadway sensation ‘Hamilton’ on Sunday morning.
The drama began at the Friday night performance as soon as Vice President-elect Mike Pence walked into the Richard Rodgers Theatre with his nephew and daughter.
A mixture of boos and cheers rang out from the crowd as Pence slipped into his prime orchestra seat.
When the show ended, Pence was asked by a cast member to hear a prepared speech after the curtain call from the multiracial and multicultural cast, saying it is concerned about the Trump administration.
‘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,’ said Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, the nation’s third vice president, as his fellow actors joined hands.
‘We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.’
