Just when you thought it might be over, President-elect Donald Trump again sounded off about Broadway's HAMILTON on Twitter early Sunday morning.

BroadwayWorld has learned that a Trump supporter interrupted the Saturday evening performance of Hamilton in Chicago. An audience member seated in the balcony allegedly shouted 'We won! You Lost! Get over it! F*ck you!' during the number 'Dear Theodosia.'

In the latest development of this ongoing battle, the hashtag #BoycottHamilton has been trending for the past six hours.

Despite the fact that the speech was a call for unity and representation, Donald Trump has condemned the cast on Twitter, accusing them of 'harassing' Pence, and demanding an apology.
