"Hamilton" wins Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album

So, the nominees for the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album were The King and I, An American in Paris, Fun Home, Something Rotten! and Hamilton.

For the first time in forever, the Grammy Awards telecast included one of the nominees for Best Musical Theatre Album - and that performance was from Hamilton.  So, gee, whadaythink won the award?

Yes.  Hamilton won.  And the show currently sold out on Broadway until 2017 will be in Chicago in September 2016 and was announced as part of Broadway In Chicago's subscription season (with The Bodyguard, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Aladdin, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch).  Get your tickets now.

Here is the opening number from Hamilton as televised on the Grammy Award telecast.  (Had to link to a different video than in the original post - as that one was removed)





And, here's the acceptance rap:
