On the red carpet at last night's AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, Idina Menzel, Keke Palmer and Donnie Wahlberg weighed in on an incident which took place at the November 18th evening performance of Broadway's HAMILTON. Scroll down to watch the video!
"I'm very proud," said Menzel of her fellow theater actors who followed Friday night's curtain call with a direct plea to Vice President-Elect Mike Pence who was in attendance. 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 incident was brought up again during the AMA broadcast, when Menzel and fellow presenter MARK CUBAN, who has publicly denounced Donald Trump, joked about the President-elect's upcoming inauguration. Menzel joked she was happy "unsafe, scary theater people wouldn't be invited to the inauguration." She followed the jab with a shout-out to the cast of HAMILTON. Watch the clip below:
