August, In the Heights Named Top Shows at Tony Awards
August: Osage County was named best play and won five awards in all, while In the Heights was the recipient of four Tonys, including best musical.
Besides the top award, In the Heights, a celebration of Latin-community life in Upper Manhattan, was recognized for its orchestration, choreography and score, with its writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, stopping the show with his acceptance speech – delivered, in breathtaking fashion, as a rap song.
