Vice President-Elect Mike Pence Says He's Not Offended By 'Hamilton' Cast

BEDMINSTER, N.J. (WWJ/AP) - A hit Broadway show about politics gets wildly political as the cast of "Hamilton" make a plea to attendee Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

Pence says he wasn't offended when he was challenged by the cast of "Hamilton" to be inclusive and represent all Americans and he encourages everyone to try to see the sold-out show.

Pence had attended the show Friday night with his daughter, and said he heard some people in the audience cheer and others "boo" at his presence. Pence tells "Fox News Sunday" that he told his daughter, "That's what freedom sounds like."

At the end of the show, actor Brandon Victor Dixon challenged Pence from the stage, saying the cast was concerned about the Trump administration.

President-elect Donald Trump on Twitter demanded that the cast apologize and suggested the show was overrated.

In his interview Sunday, Pence said Hamilton was an "incredible production" involving a very talented cast. On whether he thinks an apology was necessary: "I'll leave it to others whether that was the appropriate venue to say it."

But that's not the interpretation Trump took away:

Trump on Sunday spent the morning ranting on Twitter about "Saturday Night Live" and the Broadway hit "Hamilton." Schumer had conducted several television interviews that were being aired Sunday.
