Hamptonite Jeffrey Seller, who produced Hamilton, took the stage to accept the award for Best Musical. “Hamilton: An American Musical embodies the best values and the best impulses that make our nation a beacon to the world—inclusiveness, generosity, ingenuity and the will to work hard to make our dreams come true,” he said before quoting a song in the show. “Look around; how lucky we are to be alive right now.”

Frank Langella gave a touching speech as well, remarking on the horrible tragedy in Orlando. “When something bad happens we have three choices,” he said. “We can let it define us, we can let it destroy us or we can let it strengthen us. Today in Orlando we had a hideous dose of reality. I urge you Orlando to be strong. I’m standing in a room full of the most generous human beings on earth and we will be with you every step of the way.”
