"Look around, look around how lucky we are to be alive right now," he added, quoting the show.

He referenced the shooting at the Orlando, Fla. gay club earlier on Sunday in his speech. "We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer and love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside as sacred as a symphony Eliza tells her story. now fill the world with music, love and pride. And thank you so much for this."

She plays Angelica Schulyer, Alexander Hamilton's sister-in-law and confidante. “I’ve spent the last 10 years of my life, just trying to have children," she said when she accepted the award. "And I get to testify that the lord gave me Benjamin and Brielle and he still gave me this (lifts award). Thank you. Praise God.”
