ALLEN: A deadly winter storm is moving across the U.S. It's already hit the state of Missouri, killing four people there and stranding a lot of motorists.</s>HOWELL: The cast of "Hamilton" and actor and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda just had an opening night they will soon not forget.</s>ALLEN: The audience in Puerto Rico cheered widely on Friday as the cast of the hit Broadway musical kicked off a 23-performance run. The show is raising money for arts programs in Puerto Rico, which is still trying to cover from two hurricanes a year and a half ago.</s>HOWELL: It all hit home for Miranda, whose father was born in Puerto Rico. He reprised the role he created of U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton.</s>LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, CREATOR, "HAMILTON": People are going to come to Puerto Rico because of "Hamilton" and hopefully spend a lot of money here, eating cuchifritos and leave their hotels and actually spend money at small businesses on the island. At least, that is my hope. That's what I've been pushing. But they're also going to see blue tarps and they're also going to see how much work is left to be done.</s>ALLEN: The benefit is already a theatrical smash. Tickets have sold fast. They cost from $10 for many people there to as much as $5,000 to guests. Thank you for watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Natalie Allen.</s>HOWELL: And I'm George Howell. For viewers in the U.S., "NEW DAY" is next. For viewers around the world, "ERIN BURNETT OUTFRONT" is ahead.
