The Tony Awards sank deep into underworld Sunday as “Hadestown” took home a leading eight statues and made Broadway history as first production written and directed by women to win best musical. “The Ferryman” picked up four awards including best play, but it was Anais Mitchell’s folk-operatic reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth that led the night. Mitchell took home the Tony for score, while Rachel Chavkin, the lone woman in her category, won for direction of a musical. Ali Stroker made history as the first performer in a wheelchair to win a Tony, taking home honors for featured actress in the reimagining of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” The production also took the prize for musical revival.  The cast of “The Prom” drove home the show’s themes of acceptance and inclusion with a same-sex kiss.
