Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee made history at the Tony Awards Sunday night.
They are the first nonbinary performers to win in their respective categories.
Newell won for best actor in a featured role in a musical.
"To anyone who thinks that they can't do it, I'm going to look you dead in your face, that you can do anything that you put your mind to," said a shocked Newell after winning the award.
Newell plays Lulu in "Shucked," a comedy about family trying to save their corn crop. The performer has been wowing audiences with their solo of "Independently Owned."
