The Broadway hit “Hamilton” won 11 Tony Awards, including best musical. Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda delivered a sonnet about the Orlando attacks.
Lin-Manuel Miranda: “When senseless acts of tragedy remind us / That nothing here is promised, not one day / This show is proof that history remembers / We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger / We rise and fall and light from dying embers / Remembrances that hope and love lasts longer / And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love / Cannot be killed or swept aside, / I sing Vanessa’s symphony, Eliza tells her story / Now fill the world with music love and pride. Thank you so much for this.”
