Nonbinary actors Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee became the first two openly nonbinary performers to win Tony Awards Sunday, making history at the 76th annual awards.
"I'm not gonna hold y'all 'cause it hot in here," Newell said during their acceptance speech."I have wanted this my entire life… I should not be up here as a queer non-binary fat little baby from Massachusetts. And to anyone who thinks they can't do it. You can do anything you put your mind to."
Later in the show, Ghee won the Tony for best performance by an actor in a leading role in a musical for their role as Jerry/Daphne in the hit revival of"Some Like It Hot," a musical based on the 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe.J Harrison Ghee attends the 2023 Drama Desk Awards at Sardi's, June 06, 2023 in New York City.
"My mother raised me to understand that my gifts that God gave me were not about me. To use them to be effective in the world, to help somebody else's journey," Ghee said during their acceptance speech."So thank you for teaching me how to live, how to love, how to give.
