“You
know, we have a.. a- a guest in the audience this evening (laughter
from audience). And Vice President elect Pence, I see you walking out
but I hope you hear just a few more moments. There’s nothing
to boo, ladies and gentlemen. There’s nothing to boo. We’re all here
sharing a story of love. We have a little message for you sir, we hope
that you will hear us out.
And I encourage everybody to pull out your phones and tweet and post this message far and wide.
“Vice
President-elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for
joining us here at Hamilton: An American Musical. We really do. We,
sir… we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your
new administration will not protect us…
