Her show, which failed to beat "Jersey Boys" for the best musical Tony Award in 2006, won the best musical revival award in 2016. The show earlier won awards for costume and lighting but lost scenic design to "She Loves Me," meaning "Hamilton" couldn't break the record haul by "The Producers." Barbra Streisand returned to the Tony stage for the first time in 46 years and acknowledged the killings. Jeffrey Seller, producer of "Hamilton," quoted the show's lyrics when accepting the best musical crown. Leslie Odom Jr., who plays Aaron Burr, won best actor in a musical and cheered Miranda for "a new vision of what's possible."
