NEW YORK CITY — Good luck getting a ticket now!
Actor, playwright and Inwood native Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of "Hamilton" took home the Grammy Monday night for Best Musical Theater Album — and Miranda's acceptance speech, much like his performances on stage, stole the show.
Miranda excitedly rapped his speech, thanking everyone from the cast to his son, Sebastian.

The "Hamilton" cast — which beat out "An American in Paris," "Fun Home," "Something Rotten" and "The King and I" — also performed a live piece from their sold-out show from the Richard Rodgers Theater on West 46th Street.
Uptown residents tweeted their excitement and congratulations to the cast of "Hamilton" and Miranda, who many remember for his first musical, "In the Heights."
When you cheer for @Lin_Manuel and @Hamilton you're also cheering for #INWOOD#WASHINGTONHEIGHTS #UPTOWNNYC
