Two Political figures were shot down at Hamilton

Vice President elect Mike Pence entered the theater playing Hamilton in New York to a mixture of applause and boo's. Shocker. However, the curtain call was not the end of the show. The cast of Hamilton delivered a speech expressing their concerns on the platform of Pence's election. Considering Hamilton fractures primarily African American actors, there was bound to be a bout of awkwardness. 

Brandon Dixon, playing the character of Aaron Burr, delivered the speech in representation of a cast comprised of people of color, sexualities and genders. 

Lin Manuel Miranda praised the actor in a tweet saying he was very proud.

Unfortunately, President Elect, Donald J Trump did not find this to be respectful to Mike Pence and the physical space of the theater. Trump told the cast to "Apologize!", but this is civil disobedience and it will be heard.

Or will it?

Mike Pence left as the speech began. Awesome.
