The dazzling, exuberant musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda is also a favorite for this summer's Tony Awards. It tells the story of how an orphan emigrant from the Caribbean rose to the highest ranks of American society, as told by a young African-American and Latino cast.
It becomes the ninth musical to win the drama award, joining such shows as “South Pacific,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” and “Rent.” The last musical to nab the prize was “Next to Normal” in 2010.
