Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sara Bareilles & More Broadway Stars Record Song For Orlando
Around 2 a.m. EST on Sunday, June 12, 29-year-old Omar Mateen entered Orlando, FL LGBT club Pulse and opened fire, killing 49 and injuring many more. It's been declared the worst mass shooting in modern American history, and people are outraged, justifiably so. Musicians have shown their support and the 2016 Tony Awards dedicated the entire show to victims of the assault.
One of the more memorable moments at the Tonys was when Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda accepted an award with a sonnet dedicated to his wife and those affected by the incident in Orlando, declaring multiple times, "Love is love." That was just the beginning: Miranda, alongside 69 other Broadway greats, various celebrities and pop star Sara Bareilles have joined forces to record a song to benefit the people of Orlando.
