AceShowbiz - Power outage won't stop Lin-Manuel Miranda from performing his Broadway hit "Hamilton". The actor took to Twitter on April 19 to reassure fans in Puerto Rico that the show must go on despite power outage.
He tweeted, "So I'm not an electrician, and I wish to God today I were, but here are some places you can help."

But here are some places you can help if you can help.@HispanicFed continues to work in all 78 municipalities, both short-term relief and long term recovery: https://t.co/OIsUUJU0eD

He then shared a link to World Central Kitchen, a non-profit that helps to feed the victims of natural disasters, before adding, "And for the record, if I have to play Hamilton with a f***ing flashlight under my face in one hand and a dueling pistol in the other, belting like [singer] Ethel motherf**king Merman because there's no power to the mics, that's what i'm gonna do. See you in January no matter what."
And for the record, if I have to play Hamilton with a fucking flashlight under my face in one hand and a dueling pistol in the other, belting like Ethel motherfucking Merman because there's no power to the mics, that's what I'm gonna do. See you in January no matter what.
