Following Live Performance, the 2016 Musical Theater Grammy Award Goes to—Wait For It, Wait For It—Hamilton

Who lives; who dies; who just picked up a gold-plated gramophone? The Hamilton Original Broadway Cast Recording won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album on February 15. The Atlantic record beat out the albums of Fun Home, An American in Paris, The King and I and Something Rotten! at the 58th annual ceremony.

And that’s just part of Hamilton’s big night; Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote and stars in the megahit musical, joined his castmates for a live performance of the title number via satellite from the Richard Rodgers Theatre. This marks the eighth time musical theater has been featured in the main lineup.

The win for Hamilton is shared by Miranda, his co-stars Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff, Daveed Diggs, Daveed Diggs, Christopher Jackson, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Okieriete Onaodowan and Anthony Ramos, as well as producers Alex Lacamoire, Bill Sherman, Ahmir Thompson (a.k.a. Questlove) and Tariq Trotter (a.k.a. Black Thought).
