Tim Hughes rips the Trump sign of the man during the Broadway show

The law triggered a firestorm on social media after the publication of the video online.

A person in the St. James Theater crowd wearing a "Make America Great Again" visor opened a "Trump 2020" banner during the curtain call.

As the actors took their bows, actor Tim Hughes said he had noticed the banner and was annoyed by the lack of respect of the actors.

Hughes, who plays the character of Pabbie, is seen on video – apparently taken by a spectator in the audience and now goes around the social media – tearing the banner and throwing it on stage. Hughes and the rest of the cast then proceed to finish their bows.

In an Instagram article, Hughes talked about the events of the evening:

"What do we say about our country and our politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest" Frozen "from Disney on Broadway with a pro-Trump flag? Opposition to supporting Trump? The curtain call is a thank-you between actors and the public, a final connection to end a shared experience. "

Hughes added, "I will not apologize for the way I responded to the disrespectful man who was trying to interrupt that moment with a pathetic political platform. our show! support. "

A member of the public Wednesday, Joy Rosenthal, spotted the man after the show. She said that he was threatening to sue if he did not receive his sign.
