All for a worthy cause
Yes, it’s true. Tickets to Hamilton are outrageous. During Lin’s last performance, there were reports of $10,000 tickets to see Lin-Manuel’s last performance in 2016. However, this time it’s different. How so? in 2017, Hurricane Maria, a powerful Category 4 hurricane, struck Puerto Rico. This triggered Miranda to step up, use his art to help with the rebuilding and recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.
According to CharityBuzz:
For this special limited engagement, Lin-Manuel Miranda, his family and the producers of Hamilton have partnered with the Flamboyan Foundation to create the Flamboyan Arts Fund, which aims to build hope, stimulate the economy and enrich people’s lives through theater, dance, music, literature, visual arts and other expressions of humanity. The Flamboyan Arts Fund supports institutions and arts groups, independent artists, musicians galleries and more during the rebuilding of Puerto Rico following the devastation of Hurricane Maria to nurture the island’s vibrant culture.
During his interview with Today’s Savannah Guthrie, he said:
“Now the focus needs to be not making a dime on ‘Hamilton’ Puerto Rico, but (on) how can we help,” he said. “The goal is basically, as Puerto Rico slowly recovers from Hurricane Maria and gets back on its feet, not to leave behind the artists. We’re going to create this arts fund — it’s the Flamboyan Arts Fund. Basically every penny that gets made at ‘Hamilton’ will go to this arts fund.”
Please know that we are not encouraging our readers to simply drop a lot of money to watch this show. If you have the means to bid in this auction, this is your chance not only to watch Lin-Manuel Miranda back in the role as Hamilton, but a chance to help contribute in rebuilding Puerto Rico.
