He didn't get that; instead the New York crowd greeted him with boos as he took his seat on arrival, and the cast delivered an unprecedented direct admonishment to the VP, to cap off the night during the curtain call.

"Vice President-elect Pence, I see you're walking out, but I hope you will hear just a few more minutes."

"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.  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."
