The Broadway production company that owns Hamilton is considering legal action against a McAllen, Texas, church for illegally performing the masterpiece and adding anti-LGBTQ+ messages and biblical themes to the show.
A sermon comparing gayness and addiction was added to Lin-Manuel Miranda's original by the Door Christian Fellowship Ministries.
A spokesperson for Hamilton's New York producers told The Advocate that the unauthorized production was granted permission under strict terms for one subsequent performance after it responded to a cease and desist letter.
However, the local production company appears to have violated that too. YouTuber and podcast host Hemant Mehta posted videos on Twitter that show Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler Hamilton referring to Jesus as "saving" them during performances and live streams of Hamilton this weekend.
