"What did Lin-Manuel Miranda say about the Texas church’s Hamilton performance?
Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has responded publicly to a Texas church’s highly criticized production of Hamilton that was live-streamed earlier this month. The Tony, Emmy and Grammy winner shared a brief statement on Wednesday after the Door Christian Fellowship Ministries in McAllen, Texas, performed the musical last weekend."

SPC David S. - Fair use does not apply in this case since it an unauthorized reproduction.
The Harvard fair use document talks about using or displaying portions of a copyrighted play or film for academic study such as a classroom setting. The church scandal of Hamilton involves a full performance without written permission and a public setting (livestream on Internet).
