The Door, a church in McAllen, a town in South Texas, was allowed to continue with its planned second performance, with conditions, among them that the show would not be live streamed, recorded or shared on social media in photo or video form, according to the statement. "We have reserved all of our rights and are considering how to proceed based upon what we've learned," the spokesperson's statement said. "The Hamilton family stands for tolerance, compassion, inclusivity and certainly LGBTQ+ rights. We are in the process of reviewing the unauthorized changes made to the script to determine further action.
Much of the footage from the church's first "Hamilton" performance was scrubbed from The Door's social media accounts, per the production's cease-and-desist request. But some clips were preserved online and shared by Hemant Mehta, a writer and atheist advocate. Other footage shared by Mehta reportedly shows The Door pastor Victor Lopez addressing the audience on stage, with "Hamilton" sets behind him, and he says: "Maybe you struggle with alcohol, with drugs, homosexuality. Maybe you struggle with other things in life, your finances, whatever, relationships -- God can help you tonight."
