Lin-Manuel Miranda References Orlando In 'Love is Love' Tonys Speech
Even if musicals and Broadway aren't your thing, you're probably familiar with the GRAMMYs of theater, the Tonys. You're probably also familiar with the stellar production of Hamilton and its star Lin-Manuel Miranda, who've managed to make this particular play the cultural event of the year. Last night at the 2016 iteration of the awards show (when Miranda and crew weren't cleaning house with a whooping 11 honors) Miranda took the time to present a speech that we won't soon forget.
He stood on that stage and began with, "I’m not freestyling, I’m too old. I wrote you a sonnet instead."
