Texas church that performed 'Hamilton' without permission apologizes and says it will pay damages
By Scottie Andrew, CNN The Texas church that staged an unauthorized production of the Tony-winning musical “Hamilton” and changed several lines to include references to Jesus and Christianity has apologized to “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and the team behind the musical for its staging.
The church also agreed to pay damages. "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and the official Broadway production said they will donate the money to a local LGBTQ group.
A spokesperson for Hamilton says the money will be donated to the South Texas Equality Project, which offers support for the LGBTQ community in the Rio Grande Valley.
“It is never permissible to alter an artistic work such as ‘Hamilton’ without legal permission,” said a message on Instagram, which added that the church would pay damages.
