Lin-Manuel Miranda wasn’t able to attend the event so he sent a speech that Alex Lacamoire sung on the tune of My Favorite Things when he accepted the award Outstanding Achievement in Music.
On Twitter, Alex shared the speech in written form.
Lin’s speech for the #Oliviers was as follows, sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things,” delivered by me in his absence.
I can now say I’ve sung at the @RoyalAlbertHall??

“Gobsmacked and grateful, receiving these prizes
Thanks to our Hamiltons, Burrs and Elizas
Wish I were there in my top, tails and Spanx,
Sadly I’m not, but I’ve still got some thanks….

“Cast, band and crew make our music sound gorgeous,
How would we do in the land of King Georges?
Who bets on rapping, colonial Yanks?
Cameron and Jeffrey and London, our thanks….

“For Vanessa, and Sebastian, little Frankie, too
The reason I’m grateful for every day
Mr. Olivier, thank you!”
