Sunday night was theaters biggest night: The American Theatre Wing's 73rd Tony Awards, which honor Broadway productions.
James Corden, of "The Late Late Show," hosted a night punctuated with live numbers from nominated Broadway musicals, eight wins for the musical "Hadestown" (based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice), and several acceptance speeches that were showstopping in their own right.
Ali Stroker, who took home the award for best performance by an actress in a featured role in a musical for the revival of "Oklahoma!", became the first actor in a wheelchair to take home a Tony.
"This award is for every kid who is watching tonight who has a disability, who has a limitation or a challenge, who has been waiting to see themselves represented in this arena," she said during her acceptance speech. "You are."
Rachel Chavkin, who won for best direction of a musical for "Hadestown," was the only woman nominated in her category — which she highlighted in her speech.
"There are so many women who are ready to go," Chavkin said. "There are so many artists of color who are ready to go. And we need to see that racial diversity and gender diversity reflected in our critical establishment, too. This is not a pipeline issue. It is a failure of imagination by a field whose job is to imagine the way the world could be."
In his acceptance speech André De Shields, who won his first Tony Award, after initially making his debut as the wizard in "The Wiz" back in 1975, gave a shout out to his hometown of Baltimore.
"Baltimore, Maryland are you in the house?" he said. "I hope you're watching at home because I am making good on my promise that I would come to New York and become someone you'd be proud to call your native son."
