On Sunday night, the American Theater Wing bestowed the 73rd annual Tony Awards on the best of the 2018-2019 Broadway season, which broke box office records and saw a whopping 10 musicals and 15 plays eligible for prizes at the big show. Hadestown — a folk opera that spins a new version of ancient Greek myths — was the big winner of the night, capturing eight prizes including Best Musical. The Ferryman took home four awards, including Best Play and Best Director for Sam Mendes. Tootsie, The Cher Show, and the musical revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! took home two awards each, including acting awards for former Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Santino Fontana, Stephanie J. Block, and The Glee Project contestant Ali Stroker, who became the first actor in a wheelchair to win a Tony Award. Breaking Bad vet Bryan Cranston also scored his second Tony Award for Network. This year’s ceremony, which aired live on CBS from New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, was hosted by James Corden, and the list of presenters included Tina Fey, Jake Gyllenhaal, Billy Porter, Kristin Chenoweth, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Darren Criss, and Danai Gurira. Casts from every Best Musical nominee and both contenders for Best Revival of a Musical, Oklahoma! and Kiss Me, Kate, all performed, as did the cast of Choir Boy — a nominee for Best Choreography — and The Cher Show (because why wouldn’t you, if you had the chance to show off some Cher tunes?). Previous Tony winner Cynthia Erivo also took the stage for a stirring performance of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” during the In Memoriam segment.
