Mike Pence, the vice president-elect, took a break from planning the next administration on Friday night by attending the popular Broadway show "Hamilton."
Though Pence received a smattering of applause when he arrived, the New York audience mostly greeted the Indiana governor with boos.
The hip-hop musical about one of the country's founding fathers, with its multicultural cast and tale of immigrant pride, has been a favorite of liberals. One of its songs was first performed at the White House when creator Lin-Manuel Miranda was a guest of President Barack Obama.
And when Friday's show ended, the cast shared a message to Pence.
"We welcome you and truly thank you for joining us here," said Brandon Dixon, one of the performers. "We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us."
Dixon added, "But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us."
