00:00How exciting is it to be here tonight, your first Tony nomination?

00:04No, I know. I was so surprised. I mean, I had not anticipated a Tony nomination, so for me, I'm just over the moon.

00:14Talk to me about Tony nomination morning. Where were you? Who was the first person you told?

00:19Marie called me. I was washing my hair, and I guess she had called me earlier.

00:24It was not in my consciousness at all that I would be nominated.

00:32And she said, do you have a Tony nomination?

00:35And I was just stunned and beyond excited.

00:41And after I hung up the phone, I thought, I'm going to tell somebody.

00:46And I thought, you can't just call somebody and say, I've got a Tony nomination.

00:50Yes, you can.

00:50Well, no, I thought of one person, but my mom would have so loved that moment, this moment.

00:58And I would have brought her, and she was in my corner for my whole life.

01:03And of all the people I know, she would have been happiest.

01:06So I have to carry her with me, and I am.

01:08And I love that. And what would you say is the most special part,

01:27For us, it was a two-character play, nonstop talking,

01:32and you want to give it to the people who bought the tickets to come and see it.

01:36You want to give it to the very best of your ability with all of it.

01:41And we were lucky. Jen Silverman wrote the place, a wonderful writer,

01:46and gave us scenes of substance to do.

01:53And I wouldn't have this nomination if Jen Silverman hadn't written every word.

01:59Well, I know that there's so many, a lot of people have been calling this

02:03such a thrilling season for Broadway.

02:06What is one show outside of your own that you have really enjoyed watching?

02:10Oh, my God. It's a great time.

02:11I would say every show on Broadway, don't miss O'Mary.

02:17Good night and good luck.

02:19Well, now I guess people can see it streaming on Netflix.

02:21Don't miss that.

02:22But every show has something of, I think it's maybe Broadway's best season in years.

02:28Don't you think?

02:29It's been incredible.

02:30The one show I haven't seen is Jonathan Goff playing Bobby Darin.

02:34That's on my next week list.
