Even the biggest and brightest on Broadway could not outshine the "Hamilton" cast as they reunited for an all-star performance at the Tony Awards.

Escola, a downtown cabaret star, beat out high-wattage competitors like George Clooney and Daniel Dae Kim for the acting award. They mentioned their co-nominees in their speech, saying they had enjoyed sharing “warm salads” at pre-awards lunches. Escola is the first nonbinary actor to win a Tony in the category.
