Ali Stroker made history at the 73rd annual Tony Awards on Sunday night in a major milestone for representation on stage. 

The Glee Project alum took home the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, for her role as Ado Annie in the critically-acclaimed “Oklahoma” revival.

Ali is the first wheelchair user to ever win or even be nominated for a Tony Award. 

“This award is for every kid who is watching tonight who has a disability, who has a limitation, who has a challenge, who has been waiting to see themselves represented in this arena. You are,” the actress said on stage, to major applause from the audience. 

The 31-year-old bested nominees Lilli Cooper and Sarah Stoles of Tootsie, Amber Gray of Hadestown and her fellow Oklahoma cast member Mary Testa.

Earlier in the telecast, Stroker delighted the audience with a crowd-pleasing performance of the song I Cain’t Say No from the production, which is also nominated for Best Revival of a Musical.

Ali, who was injured in a car accident when she was two years old, made her Broadway debut in Deaf West’s revival of the musical Spring Awakening back in 2015, becoming the first wheelchair user to grace the Broadway stage.

On the red carpet before the ceremony, she spoke out about the impact her visibility has on young kids who have disabilities watching at home. 

“I know exactly what it’s like to be looking for someone who looks like me,” Ali told Variety. ”[My career] is for all these young people who deserve a role model.”
