VICTOR DIXON

In an unprecedent event for Broadway, Victor Dixon, as the cast was taking its curtain call of the then hootest musical play, "Halilton", read aloud this statement to the audience and the new Vice President Elect, Mike Pence who was attending the show. The document had been written and endorsed by the entire cast as a group. The trigger for this unusal happening was the winning of the presidency by Donald Trump who had throughout the campain made many racist statements about monorities and a contual tirade of sexist, anti-female statements. It had also been revealed that Tromp had been sexually accosting women. During and after the campaign, Pence had not himself made any of these statemetns or even indicated that he agreed with them, but he did not public;y deagree or disavow them. The message was clarly meandt for Donald Trump. The Vice President then walked out, and many in the audience booed him in the process. Victor Dixon asked them not do boo the vice president as the cast was trying to keep thir message on a high plane, but the audience wanted to express their view. Pence was hot offended personally by the message but walked out in defference to Trump. Teh President elect however was outraged and in the early morning hours went on one of his many tweeting tirades against the cast of Hamilton--to many an overreaction to criticism to which Presidents in America have to become accostomed.
