(i apologize i’m not sure how to embed a video on here)
“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…

Our parents, our children, … [indecipherable] and uphold our unalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. (applause) Allll. of. us.
(more applause)
Thank you truly for seeing this show (?), this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men, women of different colors, creeds and orientations (applause)”
