Lin-Manuel Miranda with the cast of “Hamilton” (Joan Marcus/The Public Theater via AP) “Hamilton” got a record 16 Tony nominations this morning, one more than former champs “The Producers” and “Billy Elliot.” All those nominations for the diversely cast musical have a side effect: They’re making the Tony Awards exceptionally inclusive just months after the Oscars were ridiculed on social media for nominations that were conspicuously monochromatic.

INDIANAPOLIS — Businessman Donald Trump seemed poised to run away with the Republican presidential primary on Tuesday — hoping for a big victory in Indiana that would crush the hopes of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and the “#NeverTrump” movement that had coalesced behind him. A complete victory in Indiana would give Trump 57 more convention delegates.
