Hamilton musical dominates at Olivier Awards with seven wins
Hamilton has won seven trophies at the Olivier Awards including best actor, best new musical, best supporting actor and outstanding achievement in music.
Giles Terera won best actor in a musical for his portrayal of Aaron Burr while his co-star Michael Jibson won the best actor in a supporting role in a musical award.
Terera said: "I am relieved and elated that we did so well.
"We did not take anything for granted. You never know how these things will be received and I knew it was very special."
Asked if the production was a "game changer", Terera said: "Yes, I think so."
The hip hop show tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton.
The musical's creator Lin-Manuel Miranda was awarded the outstanding achievement in music trophy along with the show's orchestrator Alex Lacamoire.
Alongside the celebrations, stars used the occasion to mark the Time's Up movement, set up in the wake of the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal.
Bryan Cranston who won best actor for his portrayal of Howard Beale in Network also wore a pin on the red carpet.
He said: "The idea that older white men are controlling the world and having free rein is over.
"With every person that is brought to the attention, and the aggressors, whether sexually or power oppressors, when they fall, we have the opportunity to rebuild on a foundation of mutual respect. Invisible of gender, of sexual preference, of colour, let's build it up with mutual respect of everyone.
