Last night at the 70th annual Tony Awards, Hamilton was the talk of the evening. From winning 11 of the 16 nominated awards, almost breaking a record of wins, to TWO live performances, it was a crowd pleaser, non-surprisingly. And to top off Hamilton already being known for being revolutionary, the cast took an even bigger stand last night against gun violence in light of the recent Orlando attacks when they refused to perform with any gun props whatsoever, even though the song was entirely about a war battle.
Watch—and be amazed by—Hamilton‘s live performance and try not cry at how perfect Lin Manuel-Miranda is. (Okay, you can cry it’s totally fine).
