Exciting news for musical lovers! For only the 9th time in the history of the awards, the coveted Pulitzer Prize for Drama has been awarded to a musical — this year’s highly lauded Hamilton!
The other finalists were two plays: Gloria by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and The Humans by Stephen Karam.

- Of Thee I Sing
- South Pacific
- Fiorello!
- How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
- A Chorus Line
- Sunday in the Park with George
