Tonys full winners list: 'Hadestown,' 'The Ferryman' take home top prizes
A show about a journey to Hell and back is the best musical of the year.
''Hadestown'' won eight awards at Sunday's Tonys at Radio City Music Hall, including Best Musical. There was one apiece for the show's writer-composer, Anais Mitchell, and its director, Rachel Chavkin.
The popular new show is a reimaging of the Greek myth "Orpheus and Eurydice." Mitchell, who has been working on the show for more than a decade, has said "Hadestown" is "poetry piece, not a prose piece."
As for new plays, "The Ferryman" was the favorite. The show, set in a family farmhouse during The Troubles in Ireland, took home four awards, including Best Play.
The dark retelling "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!" won Best Revival of a Musical, and Ali Stroker, who wowed the Tonys crowd with her new take on the classic song "I Cain't Say No," became the first actor in a wheelchair to win a Tony.
"Boys in the Band," starring big names such as Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto and Andrew Rannells, took home Best Revival of a Play.
