In the Broadway musical Hamilton, which award did the show win for drama in 2016?

Hamilton won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2016.

Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the music, lyrics, and book for Hamilton, which premiered on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6, 2015. The musical dramatizes the life of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and draws heavily on Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography.

The Pulitzer recognized the musical as a work of drama rather than giving it a theatrical production award. Hamilton was the ninth musical to win the Drama Pulitzer, following works such as South Pacific and Sunday in the Park with George.

The show also won 11 Tony Awards in 2016, including Best Musical. Its Pulitzer victory helped establish it as both a commercial success and a major American theatrical work.
