Oprah talked to Tony and Pulitzer Prize for Drama winner, Lin-Manuel Miranda in the new issue of O, The Oprah Magazine about many things including Puerto Rico.
On is mission to help Puerto Rico, said Miranda: There’s still so much urgent need. I always knew I would take Hamilton there, and we’re planning to do that in 2019. Our proceeds will go to raising money for the arts. So many have gotten on board to help. That’s the silver lining to the time we live in: People are engaged as never before when it comes to the things that matter to them.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda recorded a song with numerous artists and released it last October to support the efforts in Puerto Rico in response to Hurricane Maria, which struck the Island in September. Proceeds from ‘Almost Like Praying’ are being donated to the victims and survivors of the hurricane.
