The cast of the Broadway smash "Hamilton" has won the Grammy Award for best musical theater album.

The victory came just moments after the cast offered a rousing performance of the show's opening number via a broadcast feed from New York.

Cast members quickly came bounding back onto their theater's stage to accept the award.

It was the first time the Grammys have made room for a Broadway show since Green Day's "American Idiot" in 2010.

Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, "Hamilton" tells the true story of Alexander Hamilton, a Founding Father and the nation's first treasury secretary.

It is told by a young African-American and Latino cast and has become a Broadway sensation.
