with a religious spin is taking heat online, with observers mocking the rendition of the notably progressive Broadway musical.
On Friday and Saturday, The Door McAllen church staged a production of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash hit musical — with a substantial number of religious-based edits and omissions. For example, during the song “That Would Be Enough,” the original lyrics have Eliza Hamilton sing, “but I’m not afraid, I know who I married,” to Alexander.

Other edits included cutting a large portion of one sexually charged song, and inserting an unscripted evangelical monologue after one character dies.Following the Friday performance, one of the church’s pastors gave a sermon painting homosexuality as an addiction. “Maybe you struggle with alcohol, with drugs — with homosexuality — maybe you struggle with other things in life, your finances, whatever, relationships. God can help you tonight.
