‘Hamilton’ in Puerto Rico: An opening night with joy, hope and tears from Lin-Manuel Miranda (L.A. Times):

[…] “Things have not been the same after the hurricane,” said Yolanda Hidalgo, a doctor from Aguadilla who came to “Hamilton” with her mother, Yolanda Hernandez, a nurse. “It has been more than a year, and there are still so many troubles — towns that have not recovered, people still without jobs who lost houses, who lost everything. And there is a lot of sickness.”

Hidalgo said she has no words for how grateful she is for Miranda’s presence in Puerto Rico and for the show’s pledge to give 100% of this run’s profits to the island through the Miranda family’s Flamboyan Foundation, which is dedicated to helping with the recovery process largely through arts and culture.

Opening night drew a giddy audience of island residents mixed with a healthy helping of tourists from the mainland. During the uproarious curtain call, the audience rang out with shouts of “Puerto Rico” and “Vega Alta,” the nearby town where Miranda’s father is from. Pride in the show, and the man behind it, was palpable as fans lined up for “Hamilton” mugs, beanies, hats, tote bags, tees and hoodies.

[…]

Miranda’s interest in bringing the production to the island predates Hurricane Maria by a year. His mission changed after the storm, Puerto Rico’s worst natural disaster resulting in what the local government has estimated to be nearly 3,000 deaths.

“Puerto Ricans are the most resilient people on the face of the Earth,” Miranda said in a post-show press conference at the venue, Centro de Bellas Artes Luis A. Ferré. “Name any other city in the world that would survive this long without power and the resources that any American state would get in the wake of a hurricane.”

He added that people are coming to Puerto Rico because of the show, and he hopes they will spend a lot of money while they are on the island — and see just how much recovery work still needs to be done.

He cited the blue tarps that are one of the most persistent sights on the island. In smaller towns, they form seas of blue visible to cars passing by on the freeway, the plastic coverings protecting homes that have lost all or part of their roofs.

“I lost my job after Maria, so I started driving Uber,” said Julissa Miedes, who attended the opening night party with one of the show’s carpenters, who invited her after she gave him a ride. “It’s been a tough year after the hurricane, but I’m optimistic.”

[…]

Regardless of the venue change, “Hamilton” in Puerto Rico still is expected to generate $15 million for the island, Seller said, with some of that revenue coming from about 3,000 benefit tickets priced at $5,000 each. (The production said it has kept thousands of seats at $10 for locals.)

“All of our royalty participants — author, director, choreographer, designers, producers — are waiving our royalties, so all of those dollars are going straight to island initiatives,” Seller said.

At a raucous after-party at a massive bank complex, Miranda and the cast mingled with guests sipping Don Hamilton Old Fashioned cocktails and snacking on local braised pork cheeks and blood sausage.

Miranda appeared onstage next to a cover band, once again expressing his profound thanks to those who brought “Hamilton” to Puerto Rico a well as to island citizens for their gracious reception.

“It’s not every day you get to bring everyone you love to the island you love most in the world,” he said. “Thank you so much.”

Alexander: *walking down the hallway*

Lafayette: Alexander! *hugs him* I was so worried last night! I thought something bad happened to you! Where were you last night?

Alexander: Nothing bad happened Laf, I was at Laurens’s house.

Hercules: Wait? You went to John’s house? Henry Laurens wouldn’t even let me go through the gate when I tried to visit his house yesterday. How did you get your way in?

Alexander: Let’s just say I sneaked in and we talked and slept when we got really tired.

Lafayette: You and Laurens slept with each other!

Alexander: What? No! No! It’s nothing like that…

Hercules: So does this mean we can hang out with John?

Alexander: Not exactly… Laurens’s dad might have hired his employees to keep an eye on him for a while.

Hercules: What! That’s bullshit! He can’t do that, he doesn’t trust his own son?

Alexander: I guess not. Henry knows that Laurens and I are really close so we decided to hang out tomorrow night and that way we can hang out!

Hercules: Mind if we come too?

Lafayette: Oui! I wanna see Laurens as well!

Alexander: Alright. We can go but you can’t tell the Schuyler sisters that we’re going, we can’t cause any trouble if we bring more people over at his house.

Hercules: So you’re gonna lie to your girlfriend?

Alexander: No. I just wanna protect Laurens that’s all.

Hercules: Uh huh…

Alexander: Look I gotta go get my stuff for music class let’s just go to my locker and we’ll discuss what we’re going to do tomorrow night alright?

Lafayette: Okay.

Alexander: *walks down to his locker*

Hercules/Lafayette: *follows Alexander*

Lafayette: Do you think that this is a good idea?

Hercules: I’m not so worried about Henry catching us it’s Alex that I’m worried about. I wonder if he’s going to get into trouble and I don’t know what will happen to him and John.

Lafayette: I hope he’s not gonna do this every time he goes to that house.

Hercules: It’ll be okay babe I’m sure that Alexander will find a way if he gets caught he’s smart he’ll be fine… I hope. I wonder if John is liking Alexander’s company?

Laurens: Yeah! I bet he’s loving that if he’s visiting there all the time.

Hercules: Wait? You know about John’s crush on Alexander?

Lafayette: Oui! But I remembered that we first met him Alexander said he was cute.

Hercules: Wow… So Alexander still hasn’t gotten a clue that John likes him?

Lafayette: I guess so.

Hercules: I just know that something is going to happen between those two. I just know it.

Lafayette: Well… I guess will wait and see.

*meanwhile*

Jefferson: Make way everyone! Your prom king nominates are coming through!

Burr: Is this really necessary Thomas?

Jefferson: Yes. It is! If you wanna win prom king and dance with Theodosia than you have to make yourself look big and cool looking if people wanna vote for you.

Burr: I don’t wanna look cool! These clothes that you bought me are ridiculous!

Madison: It looks good on you though.

Burr: But I don’t wanna wear something like this at school!

Theodosia: Aaron!

Burr: *turns around* Theodosia! You look lovely today!

Theodosia: Thanks you, and you look… sharpe looking today too Aaron. Normally that’s not your kind of style I usually see you in. Especially the sunglasses.

Burr: Oh! It’s just an outfit that Thomas bought for me.

Theodosia: I can tell. If you wanna impress a lot of the kids at this school to vote for you at prom then just be yourself. You don’t need to make a big statement for people to like you. I mean I already like you and I would definitely vote for you if I wasn’t nominated for prom queen.

Burr: *blushes*

Jefferson: Than what’s the other competition like?

Theodosia: Well… from what I am hearing from other people, I hear that a lot of people wanna vote for Alexander and Eliza because they’re saying that they are becoming the cutest couple at school.

Burr: …

Theodosia: But it’s okay there might be a chance for you to win! I just hope that if I become prom queen I can actually get to look forward to dancing with you Aaron.

Burr: *blushes* Me… me too.

Theodosia: I was wondering if you had a date to the prom… if you don’t mind me asking?

Burr: I don’t have a date! I mean not yet…

Theodosia: Okay! Than would you like to be my date to the prom Aaron?

Burr: Yes.

Theodosia: *smiles* Great! I’ll see you next Friday! *walks away*

Laurens: Hey… what’s up with Burr?

Burr: *falls down*

Laurens: *catches him*

Burr: Theodosia just asked me out to the prom… I GOT ASKED OUT BY MY DREAM GIRL! YES!

Laurens: I guess Aaron and Theodosia are going to prom together.

Jefferson: Yep! Bye the way?… do you have anyone to go to the prom with freckles?

Laurens: You’re not gonna be my date Thomas. I don’t think I’m going.

Jefferson: C’mon please no one should be left alone on prom night.

Laurens: That’s why I’m not going. Why not just go with James?

Madison: *blushes*

Jefferson: James and I are just friends and nothing else.

Madison: Yeah! Nothing else!

Jefferson: Look it’ll be a fun night and no parents will be there just the teachers will keeping a close eye on everyone and we will dance and eat a lot of food there too.

Laurens: No parents?

Jefferson: Yeah.

Laurens: I guess I’ll think about it.

Jefferson: Awesome! See you next Friday!

Laurens: I didn’t say yes.

Jefferson: But you said you’ll think about it.

Laurens: Ugh… I gotta go to gym class.

Jefferson: I’ll walk you to the locker room we have gym together you know!

Laurens/Jefferson: *walks away*

Burr: How did he know about your crush on Thomas?

Madison: I don’t know! You’re the only one I told you about it!

Burr: I guess you gotta find out for yourself James.

Madison: I know…

Laurens: *sighs* I guess
