The feud between the Broadway musical Hamiltonand Vice President-elect Mike Pence is hopefully coming to a close.
According to Fox News Sunday, Pence claims that he was not offended when the cast of Hamiltondelivered a statement to him after curtain call at a show he attended on Friday evening. The statement came after Pence was booed by the audience when he went to take his seat.

Pence does admit to hearing "a few boos" but says that he enjoyed the show and that it was "a real joy to be there."
While there were more than a few boos as Pence entered the room that evening, he is clearly taking the high road compared to President-elect Donald Trump, who tweeted multiple times about the show.
Trump claimed that Pence was harassed at the show.

Hamiltonis a highly popular Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda that celebrates immigrants and features a multicultural cast as well as several LGBT performers. Currently, its star is Javier Munoz, an openly gay, HIV-positive actor who advocates for both communities.
Pence has been criticized in the past for his stance on LGBT issues which include his support of a bill in 2015 to allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT people and how he handled an HIV outbreak in Indiana during his time as state governor.
Regardless of your views on Pence, at least he's trying to put the feud with Hamiltonbehind us while Trump continues to stoke the flames.
