"Frozen" Cast Member Rips Trump Sign Away from Protester During Curtain Call
Last night, a Trump supporting moron tried to disrupt the curtain call at Frozen by waving a Trump campaign flag in front of the actors as they bowed.
Thankfully, this caught the eye of cast member Tim Hughes who quickly ripped the flag from the man's hands and threw it backstage. The moment was captured on a cellphone video.
Following the incident Hughes, who played "Pabbie" in the show, posted the following message to his Facebook page:
"What does it say about our country and politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest Disney’s Frozen on Broadway with a pro Trump flag?? How frightening is it that our show’s messages of love, acceptance, and diversity have become the opposition to supporting Trump? The curtain call is a thank you between actors and audience, a final connection to end a shared experience. I will not apologize for how I responded to the disrespectful man trying to interrupt this moment with a pathetic political platform. Not at our show! Not in front of my beautiful, diverse, talented cast at @frozenbroadway. I appreciate everyone’s support. #resist #lovewins #lovetrumpshate"
This is not the first time Trump supporters have tried to disrupt Broadway. A protester, possibly the same person, did the same during a curtain call at A Bronx Tale. This dumb action was likely a response to director Robert DeNiro's colorful comments about Trump at last year's Tony Awards. It would seem that they just can't let it go.
No other comments from Frozen officials or Disney Theatrical productions have been released.
