Add Broadway's Carole Cook to the "Enemies List" of those wishing harm on supporters of President Donald Trump, if not assassination of the U.S. president, according to TMZ.

"Where's John Wilkes Booth when you need him?" Cook told a TMZ photographer in response to a protest of a pro-Trump banner in the audience during a performance of Disney's "Frozen" last week, according to the report.

John Wilkes Booth assassinated former President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C.'s, Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865.

Cook then asked if she could be put on an "Enemies List" – "and she clearly would wear that as a badge of honor," TMZ reported.

During the "Frozen" performance, an audience member raised a banner that read "Trump 2020," which prompted an onstage actor to rip it from the guy's hands and throw it off stage, according to a video posted on Instagram.

"I will not apologize for how I responded to the disrespectful man trying to interrupt this moment with a pathetic political platform," Timothy Hughes posted on Instagram. "Not at our show! Not in front of my beautiful, diverse, talented cast at @frozenbroadway."
