"Vice President-elect Pence, I see you're walking out, but I hope you will hear just a few more minutes," actor Brandon Victor Dixon — who plays Aaron Burr in the show — called out.
Pence had begun to leave the theater, but turned and stopped to listen to Dixon's nearly two-minute address, according to people in the crowd.
"We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our friends, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights," Dixon said, reading off a piece of paper. "But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us."
"We truly thank you for sharing this show, this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men, women of different colors, creeds and orientation," Dixon said.
"We don't have to agree, but we have to live here," Dixon finished to boisterous cheers from the crowd.
