An actor from the group "Frozen the Broadway Musical" has removed a flag "Trump 2020" in the hands of an audience.
The actors saluted during the recall to the St. James Theater when the front row viewer began waving the flag.
Upon seeing it, actor Timothy Hughes – who plays Pabbie the wise troll in the musical – took it and threw it behind the scenes.
In an Instagram message about the incident, Hughes said he was not surprised.
"What do we say about our country and our politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest Disney's Frozen on Broadway with a pro Trump flag?" he said. "To what extent have the messages of love, acceptance and diversity of our show become the opposition to Trump's support?"
Hughes added that the curtain call was meant to be a final connection between the audience and the actors, and he would not have interrupted his casting.
"I will not excuse myself for the way I responded to the disrespectful man who was trying to interrupt that moment with a pathetic political platform. Not our show!"
Famous blogger Perez Hilton also tweeted the video to his subscribers.
"Frozen the Broadway Musical" is a show adapted from Disney's blockbuster movie. He follows Anna, mountaineer Kristoff and his sidekick to find Anna's sister, Snow Queen Elsa, and break her ice spell.
The director "Frozen the Musical", Michael Grandage, has been contacted for comments.
