The 73rd Annual Tony Awards aired Sunday night on CBS with host James Cordon, honoring the best in Broadway, from "The Cher Show" and "Network" to revivals "Oklahoma!" and "Kiss Me, Kate."
"Hadestown," a dark musical about the underworld, took home eight Tony awards last night, including best musical. "The Ferryman," a British play set during the Northern Ireland conflict, won best play.
Bryan Cranston won his second Tony for best actor for his performance in the stage adaption of the 1976 film, "Network." He dedicated the award to journalists, adding, "The media is not the enemy of the people. Demagoguery is the enemy of the people." Theater veteran Stephanie J. Block won her first Tony for best actress for her portrayal of Cher in the musical "The Cher Show."
There were a few legendary wins on Sunday night. Ali Stroker became the first actress to be nominated and win a Tony Award for her portrayal of Ado Annie in the musical revival of "Oklahoma!" Rachel Chavkin, director of "Hadestown," is only the 10th female director in Broadway history to receive a Tony award for best directing.
Though probably the highlight of the evening was a moment that didn't even air. During a commercial break, James Cordon convinced Pittsburgh-native Billy Porter ("Pose," "Kinky Boots") to perform a karaoke song and Porter chose "Everything's Coming up Roses" from "Gypsy." And well ... He. Brought. Down. The. House. Bow to the king.
