A Texas Church Did What With Hamilton?

The Broadway musical Hamilton did not originally contain much of a
Christian message, but then the Door McAllen Church in McAllen,
Texas got a hold of it. On today’s episode, Rachelle is joined
again by Daisy Rosario to talk about the latest TikTok sensation
known as “Scamilton,” an unauthorized production of Hamilton staged
by the Door McAllen Church and livestreamed on Youtube in early
August. They get into copyright law, how the Church lied about its
right to perform the musical, and the tragically tone-deaf cast.
