“We have a message for you sir, and we hope that you will hear us out, ” Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who plays Aaron Burr, told the audience. “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. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us."

To his credit, Pence stopped his exit to listen.

The fools still don't have a clue why they lost, poor things.

Which part of that message was partisan? That was a direct statement of their feelings and fears to the man who has been elected vice president.

They didn't challenge his legitimacy. They didn't refuse to perform while he was in the audience.

They did their job, and at the end of the show they used their opportunity to ask him to make sure the administration he is a part of represents them, as well.

Sorry, completely inappropriate. The man was just trying to have a pleasant evening out with his family, and he has to be subjected to that.

Subjected to what, a brief speech from the cast of a musical? How painful that must have been for him. Let's all pray that he is able to heal from this and move on.

Honey, they might not deport you but your president is leader of a huge band of people who do not respect your right to be here and will just lump you on in with all the Muslim terrorists they imagine are here or trying to be. They do not see you any differently. Really. You are a brown outsider who doesn't belong here to them.

What makes you think the Iranian poster is a Muslim. Among others, there are Jews, Chaldean Rite Christians, Zoroastrians, and -- most notably -- Bahai in Iran. Curb your stereotypes and ignorance, PP

You totally missed the point. I didnt say she was not do I care. The people who voted Trump who hate middle eastern immigrants WILL see her as a Muslim who doesn't belong here, regardless of the fact she may or may not be Muslim, is most certainly not a terrorist, and has lived here legally for 25 years. To them she's a Muslim outsider who doesn't belong here. Period. People like her have got to wake up and realize their status is not safe just because they are legal immigrants. Trump's supporters don't distinguish like that. To them, she's from Iran = Muslim immigrant = problem with America.

Cool story.

Low 30s at best. Biggest case of buyer's remorse. Kind of like 90 percent of women in this area feel for choosing to say, "ummm, yes?" to their particular spouses.

Healing and moving on after the evening is not the point; regardless of one's political views, it was rudeness on display by the cast, speaker, etc.

For those that think this is inappropriate, how else do you suspect artists are represent every color, creed and orientation should express their concern to the incoming vice-president?

Trump has tweeted actual racist and antagonistic words to the world. When will he apologize? He won't.

Given the words and actions (via appointments) of this nascent administration, people are downright petrified that the United States of America is going to turn into an Oligarchy of the worst kind.

Economic Anarchy (espoused by Bannon) coupled with the economic proposals floated (trillion dollar infrastructure program that does nothing, "tweaking of Obamacare etc) along with the absolute xenophopbia and racism, potential to suspend rules and further consolidate power leaves anyone who is paying attention with a very chilling feeling about the worst of where this Administration can go.

So you are concerned that the free expression of concern to the incoming Vice-President is inappropriate?

How about wake up and understand why people are protesting in the streets and fearful for what a Trump presidency means to them and the country they love.

Probably similar to all the American citizens who went to their respective voting places and voted for Trump because they were fearful of what a Clinton presidency would mean for the country they love.

I don't know what's weirder about this--that republicans are complaining about people having wealth, or that the son of a millionaire who has lived in luxury his entire life is their guy, when somehow people who splurge in theater tickets are all that is wrong with America. You just sound like tantruming toddlers, not people who actually care about anything.

These people have no idea of the struggles that made people think Trump was the only way out.

No, Trump has no idea, and furthermore does not care, beyond generating applause lines. Nor do the men who are advising him.

Trump took rudeness and crudeness to new heights and yet made it to the WH. To me, that says volumes especially those who put him there and rally behavior. So your comments about boorish behavior being bizarre and rude means nothing.
