NEW YORK (AP) — There won't be an apology to Donald Trump and Mike Pence from the cast of "Hamilton." That's according to the actor who delivered a lecture from the stage about equality after Friday's Broadway performance, which was attended by the vice president-elect. Brandon Victor Dixon told "CBS This Morning" that "there's nothing to apologize for." Donald Trump disagrees. In Chicago, a man was arrested the next day during a performance of "Hamilton." Fellow audience members say he shouted "We won!" and other election-related comments from the balcony.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kanye West has abruptly pulled the plug on his Saint Pablo Tour. This, a few days after making statements onstage about how he "would have voted for Donald Trump" and after a stormy weekend in which he abruptly canceled a show after four songs. A representative for the rapper says the remaining 21 dates of West's current tour have been canceled. No reason was given. Live Nation said tickets will be "fully refunded at point of purchase." On Friday, during a concert in San Jose, California, West said he didn't vote but would have cast a ballot for Trump, praising the president-elect's "method of communication" as "very futuristic."
