A GROUP of lucky city high school students got to see the Broadway smash “Hamilton” and enjoy a Q&A with the cast on Wednesday.

Some of the 1,300 kids from 14 schools even got to give their own performanc­es at the Richard Rodgers Theatre near Times Square.

The program will eventually bring 20,000 city high school kids to the private performanc­es. A TEEN shot a BB rifle from the roof of his Bronx apartment building Wednesday afternoon, blasting a 10-year-old girl sitting in a classroom at her school next door, police said.

Lia Urena was hit in the forearm as she sat in a fifth-floor classroom at the Mott Hall Charter School on the grounds of Pubic School 63 on Franklin Ave. by E. 169th St. in Morrisania at about 2 p.m., sources said

“He was trying to shoot at the school, but he shot me instead,” Lia told WABC-TV Wednesday night. “The first shot that he did, everybody started running, but I tripped on the floor, and when I tripped on the floor he hit me on the hand and he shot me.”

A teacher and the girl’s classmates saw someone with what appeared to be a rifle on a nearby roof, and police soon arrested Anfernee Olivo, 19, who lives in the building next-door, cops sources said.
