President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Saturday morning that Vice President-elect Mike Pence was "harassed" by the cast of "Hamilton," after an actor addressed Pence's presence and expressed concern about the incoming administration on stage after the musical's performance Friday evening.

"Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!" Trump tweeted.


"The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!" he followed up.

More than 10 hours later, after a day of meetings with potential Cabinet members, the president-elect took to Twitter again.

"Very rude and insulting of Hamilton cast member to treat our great future V.P. Mike Pence to a theater lecture. Couldn't even memorize lines!" Trump tweeted Saturday evening.

Pence, who attended the play with his daughter Charlotte and his nieces and nephew, was greeted with boos and cheers when he first walked into the theater. Following the performance, Broadway star Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, addressed Pence's presence.

"Vice President-elect Pence, I see you walking out, but I hope you hear us, just a few more moments," Dixon said as some of the audience members booed Pence. "There is nothing to boo here ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing to boo here. We are all here sharing a story of love. We have a message for you, sir, and we hope that you will hear us out."

Dixon said the cast welcomed Pence and thanked him for attending. He encouraged audience members to pull out their phones to record and to post on social media.

"We, sir, we 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," Dixon said. "But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us."

Lin-Manuel Miranda, writer and former star of the musical, tweeted Saturday: "Proud of @HamiltonMusical. Proud of @BrandonVDixon, for leading with love. And proud to remind you that ALL are welcome at the theater."

Newt Gingrich, a Trump supporter, also responded to the cast's statement in a series of tweets Saturday morning.

"The arrogance and hostility of the Hamilton cast to the Vice President elect (a guest at the theater) is a reminder the left still fights," he wrote.

Gingrich tied the cast's action to Sen. Elizabeth Warren and The New York Times' and Washington Post's coverage of the election.

"Hamilton cast hostility, Warren comments on Trump nominees, Times and Post false coverage, all reminders this will be a permanent campaign" Gingrich wrote.

Dixon, who read the statement, responded to Trump's tweets.

"@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen."
