This homophobic church’s illegal ‘Hamilton’ show would be offensive if it weren’t so damn funny
This unhinged Texas church not only put on an unauthorized Hamilton production, but rewrote it to feature the titular character being converted to Christianity.Needless to say, folks are far from “Satisfied”.The Door church in McAllen, Texas put on their born-again Hamilton over the past weekend.
The first performance on Friday quickly garnered a cease-and-desist from the Hamilton Team in New York.The church then apparently went ahead with their Saturday show secretly, even while listing it as “canceled” on Eventbrite.Related: White House streams anti-gay church sermon at service attended by Mike PenceThe live-streamed show has since been taken down by official orders, but clips of it live on in the internet ether, and oh boy.The Kidz Bop-esque censorship can be heard from the very first line:Oh.
