Who wants free ‘Hamilton’ tix?

- — Emily Mae Czachor

In February, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Immigrants, We Get the Job Done” became a sort of protest anthem in the aftermath of the announceme­nt of President Trump’s 90-day immigratio­n ban.

On Monday, Miranda, the mastermind behind “Hamilton,” proposed a challenge to the Twittersph­ere. In honor of Immigratio­n Heritage Month, Miranda (in partnershi­p with Prizeo) asked participan­ts to perform a snippet of their favorite “Hamilton” tune, post a video online with the hashtag #Ham4All and donate to Immigrants: We Get the Job Done Coalition.

A donation earns participan­ts the chance to win tickets to opening night of the Los Angeles run of “Hamilton” on Aug. 16 at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, no small prize considerin­g the musical’s string of sold-out performanc­es.
