Hamilton Wins 11 Awards – Tony Awards
Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda also delivered a powerful sonnet about love in place of a traditional acceptance speech while accepting the award for Best Book. Sunday night’s Tony Awards were overshadowed by the tragedy in Orlando, which was acknowledged multiple times throughout the night, including during host James Corden’s opening remarks.
Miranda’s show, Hamilton, won 11 of the 16 awards for which it was nominated. Other big winners included The Humans and The Color Purple.
