Tony Awards 2008 Acceptance Speech Lin-Manuel Miranda

I used to dream about this moment, now I'm in it
Tell the conductor to hold the baton a minute
I'll start with Alex Lacamoire and Bill Sherman
Kevin McCollum, Jeffrey Seller, and Jill Furman
Quiara, for keeping the pages turnin'
Tommy Kail for keeping the engine burnin'
For bein' so discernin' through every all-nighter
Dr. Herbert for tellin' me, "You're a writer."
I have to thank Andy Blank for every spank
Matter fact, thank John Buzzetti for every drink
Thank the cast and crew for having each other's backs, son
I don't know about God but I believe in Chris Jackson
I don't know what else I got, I'm off the dome
I know I wrote a little show about home
Mr. Sondheim, look, I made a hat!
Where there never was a hat!
It's a Latin hat at that!
Mom, Dad, and Cita, I wrote a play!
Y'all came to every play
Thanks for bein' here today
Vanessa, who still leaves me breathless
Thanks for lovin' me when I was broke and makin' breakfast
And with that, I want to thank all my Latino people
This is for Abuelo Wisin and Puerto Rico!
Thank you
