As reported by BroadwayWorld, on Friday night Vice President-Elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton on Broadway, where he was met with both cheers and boos from audience members pre-show. Following the curtain call, the cast of the production addressed Pence directly via a speech made by cast member Brandon Victor Dixon. Despite the fact that the speech was a call for unity and representation, Donald Trump on Saturday condemned the cast on Twitter, accusing them of "harassing" Pence, and demanding an apology.

The controversy carried on throughout the day Saturday with some Donald Trump supporters calling for a boycott of the sold-out show and it affected another performance as the production was interrupted in CHICAGO last night by an audience disruptor shouting profanities during the show.

This morning, the President-elect has again taken to Twitter to sound off.
