The Miranda family donated approximately $1 million to bring theUniversity of Puerto Rico theater up to par in order to use it as the venue for the musical's performance in January 2018. After tickets sold out in two hours for the three-week run, producers decided to move out of the university venue due to warnings of potential disruptions by a university workers' labor organization, and move the already-installed set to theLuis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center inSanturce , where the performances ran from January 11 to January 27. The production donated additional hundreds of thousands of dollars in improvements to the Ferré Performing Arts Center.[ 181]
In 2016, Miranda advocated for the passing of thePuerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA), a law setting out to restructure the debt of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.[ 182] The law led to budget cuts resulting in the closure of over 200 public schools, cuts to government labor benefits, and budget cuts at theUniversity of Puerto Rico (UPR). It was met with protests, with UPR shutting down due to student strikes over the measures in 2017. Miranda became a target of criticism, especially when he performedHamilton in Puerto Rico, given his lobbying on the bill as well as the musical's subject matter of the United States which many Puerto Ricans see as an oppressor of the island.[ 183] During the post show, Miranda met with protestors explaining that he had seen PROMESA as the only bipartisan option for the debt crisis previously, he does not support the austerity measures introduced and that he believes full debt-relief should now be pursued.[ 184] Subsequently, he has argued for full debt-relief for the island[ 185] and noted that the 2016 act has not led to the promised relief.[ 186]
