“We, sir — we — are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” Dixon said as Pence exited the building.

I wanted to see that play next year..but after the way they behaved I wont. It was totally unprofessional and ignorant for the Hamilton cast to do what they did..and no one would want that to happen to them..so don't see it and spread the message, do t go!!..they certainly have no moral high ground to lecture anyone.
