Congratulations 'In the Heights'!
Theatrical mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda '02 (above) is really excited about it. The show was one of the biggest winners of the night, for choreography, score, and orchestration as well as best musical.

this is so exciting! I had never seen any performances from the show until the Tonys tonight. I noticed the song used parts from "definition" by black star. How does stuff like that work? Do they have to get permission from the original musicians? Just wondering. Anyway the song was really entertaining. Very impressive.
This is why Sheek is going to be successful in life and I am not.
i don;t get it
Can we note that he RAPPED his acceptance speech and that it was absolutely wonderful? I don't think the Tonys quite knew what hit them.

High praise marianna! If only blogging translated to skills outside a cubicle.
please note that one of the nominees for the price that lost to In the Heights was our very own Adam Schlesinger '10
?
uh you're talking about this Adam Schlesinger, not the far less notable wes '10er
I, personally, am thankful for the Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne fame for making it virtually impossible for future employers to ever google my name.
11:59: In the Heights used the melody from an old reggae song that a lot of hip hop artists (Black star, Biggie Smalls, etc) have used to perform the lyrics to their songs. It's sort of a cultural legacy thing.
