What does this Tony nomination mean to you
0:02
This one is very special. I haven't told you this yet, Richie, but I'm going through it
0:08
I've just signed divorce papers. I did tell you, right? And so, like Helen Sharp, I feel like I can do it on my own

I can stand on my own two feet. So to be rewarded this way or validated this way has just been so wonderful
0:22
to have my professional life, marry my personal life, and mirror it in many ways
0:27
the lyrics that I have to sing at the end of the show. It just reminds me of everything I've been through

and that I'm going to be okay. Isn't it great that you can use your creative energy

What's made this so special with working on this show? It just came so unexpectedly in my life and it has really fast to Broadway from the time I started I mean I only started in September of 2022 and here we are

And what's made it so special is the A-list talent across the board, design team and beyond

These designers, are you kidding me? These are the best of the best, and I am only made better by their contributions and art

So it's just working with the best in the business. That's when the most special

Besides being gorgeous, you're pinned again. When they pinned you today, what went through your mind quickly
1:40
Quickly that everyone is different and it's like a parent describing your children
1:45
You can't possibly pick your favorite. And like I said, because of what I've been through in my personal life
1:50
this is sort of a talisman of strength and resilience. This feels like resilience to me
1:57
That's the best way to put it. I've not used that word yet. with any interview, that's the word. This feels like resilience
