Brandon Dixon - who plays Vice President Aaron Burr in the musical - delivered a message of peace, and a plea to respect diversity, on behalf of the cast after the show.
"You know, we have a guest in the audience this evening. 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 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 because this message needs to be spread 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, 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, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us."
President Trump protests
Show all 20
"Thank you truly for seeing this show, this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men, women of different colours, creeds, and orientations."
Though Donald Trump has accused the cast of Hamilton of both "terrible behaviour" and "harassment" against Pence; the Vice President-elect himself broke with Trump and stated the show was an "incredible production", and that the audience boos were "what freedom sounds like".
