Bloomberg.com: Muse Arts: "When Lin-Manuel Miranda rapped his Tony Award acceptance speech to a giddily stunned audience last night, he rhymed props to Stephen Sondheim, his family and that Latin-inflected fingertip of northern Manhattan where his show, ``In the Heights,'' is set.
And when the rock musician Stew won for his book for ``Passing Strange,'' he nodded to Los Angeles, where his exuberant, loud, sexy show begins and ends.
I liked ``Passing Strange'' more than ``In the Heights,'' but really, that's not the point. The remarkable thing is that those two comparatively small-scale, unassuming shows came to dominate the Tonys at all."
