It’s been long enough for even that ol’ United Kingdom to agree: there’s a little something for everyone in the Revolutionary War. At least, that seems to be the takeaway from Sunday night’s Olivier Awards, which saw the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical walk away with seven wins, including Best New Musical, Outstanding Achievement in Music, and Best Actor in a Musical for Giles Terera’s turn as Aaron Burr.
While Hamilton had 13 nominations, in the end the show came up shy of breaking the Olivier award record, set by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last year when it earned nine wins. Better luck next musical-about-geopolitical-discord, Lin-Manuel! If it makes you feel any better, Bryan Cranston won the Olivier for Best Actor in a Play for Network, which isn’t directly related to your accomplishments, but is pretty cool nonetheless. You can read the full list of Olivier winners below:
