This is what history looks like

When Ali Stroker was cast in the 2015 revival of “Spring Awakening,” she made history as the first performer who uses a wheelchair for mobility to conquer Broadway. Fans of Stroker will remember her from the reality competition series “The Glee Project,” from which she won a guest starring role on the Fox musical dramedy “Glee.”

“Spring Awakening” is nominated for three Tonys: best revival, best lighting and best direction.
