The Door McAllen, a church in Texas, has been under serious scrutiny for the past several days after performing an unlicensed, Jesus-centric production of Hamilton over the weekend. The show is not available for any outside group to perform right now, much less a church that changes the show’s message. Making matters worse, Friday night’s performance ended with a short sermon that mentioned “homosexuality” as a struggle people needed to overcome.

This morning, Hamilton‘s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda finally chimed in with a tweet. He called the show an “illegal, unauthorized production,” linked to a statement from the Dramatists Guild which called out the church’s “brazen infringement,” and let people know lawyers were on the case:

Grateful to all of you who reached out about this illegal, unauthorized production. Now lawyers do their work.
And always grateful to the @dramatistsguild, who have the backs of writers everywhere, be it your first play or your fiftieth. 1/2 <a href="https://t.co/yMtM3z9crI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="forumlink">[t.co]</a>

But one thing missing from this story is the fact that this particular church has been doing this sort of thing for years, taking popular secular movies or shows and Christianizing them. An archived version of the website for The Door McAllen shows they’ve done this sort of thing for Despicable Me, Toy Story, and Beauty and the Beast....

(I guess "Thous shalt not steal" isn't taken very seriously at this church... at least not as seriously as "show me the money." )
