Now I can say it. How excited are you? I'm so thrilled
0:13
I'm so grateful to be here. Okay. We spoke opening night. I mean, that was a world win for you
0:19
You're nominated for a Tony Award. Yeah. Yeah, I'm so thrilled. And I'm so grateful that so many of the artists who were working on the show were recognized
0:28
It definitely is a show that has taken a village, and so it feels so great that so many of those artists have been recognized
0:34
The actors, creative team, design team, and it feels great for me, too, of course
0:39
I mean, you're wearing a Tony pin. Those are hard to get. Yeah. What does that mean
0:44
Yeah, you know, I feel so lucky to have been embraced by this community
0:49
It feels to me like a real supportive community and with traditions and history and, like, ghosts
0:58
ancestors, I feel grateful to be part of all that. If you could tell your younger self, I'm going to Broadway
1:05
I'm going to be nominated for a Tony Award or Tony Awards. What would your younger self say
1:10
You know, I think my five-year-old self would have believed it, and my 12-year-old self would never have believed it
1:17
and so I would tell my 12-year-old self to hang in there. Chris, got to be, what's today like for you
1:22
like running from interview to interview and just being with your company, what that means to you
1:26
It's all very new. You know, this morning we actually had a performance on the Today Show
1:31
so we were up at 5 a.m. to get to that. And I'm just always overwhelmed by how flexible and resilient these actors are
1:40
and the band, the fact that they can roll with all these different aspects
1:44
of what the job is of doing a show, you know, the show, and then talking about the show and promoting the show and all that stuff
