We knew it could happen: a “Hamilton” sweep. The must-see-but-can’t-obtain-tickets-for musical went into the ceremony with an unprecendented 16 nominations.
Lin-Manuel Miranda and his hip-hop musical did go home with armfuls of awards, but others – notably “The Humans” and “The Color Purple” — had great nights, too.
Take a look at the winners of the 70th annual Tony Awards, which unfolded at the Beacon Theatre. (Some winners were not announced during the broadcast.)
