Hamilton rose to the occasion and scored an impressive 11 trophies at the 2016 Tony Awards on Sunday night (June 12), including Best Musical.
The blockbuster hip-hop musical about America's founding father was nominated for a record-breaking 16 awards during Sunday's (12Jun16) prizegiving, and in addition to the top award presented to them by Barbra Streisand, the show's star, creator and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, took individual prizes for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score.
Miranda lost the Best Leading Actor in a Musical trophy to his co-star Leslie Odom, Jr., while other acting prizes went to Renee Elise Goldsberry (Best Featured Actress in a Musical) and Daveed Diggs (Best Featured Actor in a Musical).
The creative team had a near clean sweep, winning Best Direction of a Musical (Thomas Kail), Best Choreography (Andy Blankenbuehler), Best Orchestrations (Alex Lacamoire), Best Costume Design (Paul Tazewell), and Best Lighting Design (Howell Binkley).
Although Hamilton went home with 11 trophies, it did not break the record for the most wins in one night, which is held by The Producers. The musical was honoured with 12 Tonys in 2001.
Meanwhile, acclaimed show The Humans scored the most trophies in the play categories, for Best Play, Best Featured Actor and Actress prizes for its two stars Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell, respectively, and Best Scenic Design of a Play for David Zinn.
Frank Langella earned his fourth Tony for Best Leading Actor in a Play for The Father, while Jessica Lange won her first Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Play for Long Day's Journey Into Night. Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge was given two Tonys, for Best Revival of a Play and for its director Ivo van Hove.
Casts from each of the Best Musical contenders - Bright Star, Hamilton, School of Rock, Shuffle Along, and Waitress - treated viewers to song and dance numbers, while stars from Best Revival of a Musical nominees, The Color Purple, Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me and Spring Awakening, also hit the stage to perform.

“She Loves Me” reaped eight Tony Awards nominations, including a bid for Best Musical Revival. It is the second remounting of this charming musical from 1963.

Overheard whilst exiting Broadway's She Loves Me this weekend:
[surprised] That was just like 'You've Got Mail'!
Bingo, tourist ladies, bingo. She Loves Me, the 1963 musical, currently in the middle of its second Broadway revival, is adapted from the 1937 Hungarian play Parfumerie by Miklós László. It's inspired so many riffs so often you'd think it was a Shakespeare comedy. The play has already resulted in three well-known movies in the form of the touching Jimmy Stewart clasic (The Shop Around the Corner, 1940), an undervalued Judy Garland romance (In the Good Old Summertime, 1949), and the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks rom-com You've Got Mail (1998). The shop changes as does the mode by which the anonymous lovers correspond without realizing they know and hate each other in real life. Expect an internet catfishing riff on the story in 3...2...1... Anyway, in 1963 the play was adapted into She Loves Me for the musical stage.

“She Loves Me” is best known for the song “Vanilla Ice Cream,” in which the leading lady expresses her love for a man while eating a carton of ice cream. Barbara Cook, the show’s original Amalia Balash, turned it into her signature song when she reinvented herself as a concert and cabaret singer in the 1970s. This 1963 musical by Joe Masteroff, Jerry Bock, and Sheldon Harnick is also notable for a very different, much less lighthearted reason. What other Broadway musical comedy features a serious suicide attempt before the end of the first act? Scott Ellis’ fine new revival of.

Composer of a string of Broadway musicals, he was best known for Fiddler On the Roof
Days after speaking at a memorial service for his Fiddler On the Roof collaborator Joseph Stein, the composer Jerry Bock has died, aged 81. With Stein and the lyricist Sheldon Harnick, Bock wrote some of the most loved and admired Broadway songs of the last century. Fiddler On the Roof, set in Tsarist Russia and starring Zero Mostel as Tevye the milkman, opened on Broadway in 1964 and broke all box-office records, running for more than 3,200 performances.
The show made Bock world-famous for his lilting, instantly familiar Jewish melodies and catchy rhythms. There was consummate artistry in the way he could set to music even so banal an exchange as "Do you love me?" "Do I what?" "Do you love me?" "Do I love you...?" with its tender, affirmative swerve in the last phrase.

Tony Award winning composer Jerry Bock has died of heart failure, aged 81. He passed away at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, New York on Wednesday morning, November 3. Bock cemented his place in musical theater history after composing the score to "Fiddler on the Roof" with lyricist Sheldon Harnick.
The collaboration earned the two men Tonys in 1965. The pair took home Tony gold again in 1960, for the music and lyrics to "Fiorello!"
Bock was also nominated for Tonys in 1967 - for "The Apple Tree" - and again in 1971 - for "The Rothschilds". His other Broadway credits include "The Body Beautiful", "Mr. Wonderful" and "She Loves Me".
Bock made his Broadway debut in 1955 with lyricist Larry Holofcener, whom he met in college, on "To Catch a Star".

It earned the two men Tony Awards in 1965."He was wonderful to work with," said Harnick, who collaborated with Bock for 13 years. "I think in all of the years that we worked together, I only remember one or two arguments — and those were at the beginning of the collaboration when we were still feeling each other out.

Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced that the company's production of Parfumerie will run November 26 - December 24, 2009, at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts.
Soulpepper debuts a new adaptation of Miklós László's touching romantic comedy from Canadian writers Adam Pettle and Brenda Robins.
