The Door McAllen church in McAllen, Texas, was told to stop its illegal production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton, which was shown on YouTube on August 5.
The Washington Post said that The Door McAllen added biblical references to the lyrics of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical and gave a sermon at the end that made fun of the LGBT+ community.
After the performance on August 5 was live-streamed to the church’s YouTube channel, a letter demanding that the live-streaming stop was delivered to the church on August 6. The Door McAllen was granted permission to proceed with the performance scheduled for August 6 “as long as no pictures or videos were taken, the performance wasn’t posted online, and the church stopped hosting productions of the show.”
