Conversation with Chernow, Kail, Miranda, and Mead: 2016 Records of Achievement Award Ceremony

The National Archives Foundation honored Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Ron Chernow; Tony and Emmy Award-winning film and theater director Thomas Kail; and Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, lyricist, and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda with its 2016 Records of Achievement Award at its annual Gala on September 25, 2016.

During the program, the honorees discuss going through Hamilton archives, the process of translating the records into the musical, and the stories of Hamilton's life that they wish they could have incorporated into the show.

The Records of Achievement Award honors their collective work on the Tony, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Award-winning Broadway musical “Hamilton,” inspired by the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton by Mr. Chernow. The Broadway musical was directed by Mr. Kail, and was written by and stars Mr. Miranda.
