00:00Congratulations on your Tomey nomination.

00:02What are the emotions going through your mind right now?

00:04Oh man, I'm just, I'm like filled with a lot of gratitude that we made it here.

00:08That our show has been so loved and that we're all three here together.

00:15I'm also really pregnant, so to still be doing the show and be here.

00:19Congratulations.

00:19Thank you so much.

00:20So there's a lot to be grateful for tonight for me.

00:24Of course, and I know the show is coming to a close pretty soon.

00:27What, is that a bittersweet moment for you?

00:30Is there a particular part or song or moment from the show that you're going to miss?

00:33The whole thing, already today we were like in tears multiple times.

00:37I mean, we're just, the three of us have gotten so close.

00:39And the show is about this long friendship and we've built our own.

00:45And yeah, it's just, it's a, it's, it's, it's really woven deep within us.

00:50So I don't know if I can pick a specific moment.

00:53The whole thing is just, it's going to be tough to say goodbye to.

00:56And I love the friendship between you, Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe.

01:00Is there something about those two that you've come to learn by being a part of this production

01:05that maybe not a lot of people know?

01:07Man, well, Dan's always ready really early.

01:12He's like, like ready before I even get to the theater sometimes.

01:17And yeah, he's always like, well, you never know.

01:20The show could start early, which is just LOL.

01:22Well, um, and Jonathan, um, he loves to laugh on stage and doesn't care if he's not supposed

01:29to be laughing.

01:31And that, um, I didn't know that about him until I worked with him, but, um, it's irritating

01:36because he always gets away with it.

01:38And I feel like I can't do that, but Jonathan somehow can.

01:41He's one of a kind.

01:42That guy is.

01:43Yes.

01:44They both are.

01:45And finally, I want to say, it's of course a big night for the stage.

01:49What's a piece of advice that you would give to young performers or artists that are watching

01:53tonight and hoping for their chance at Broadway as well?

01:56I would say, you know, watch and be inspired, but like really dig into who you are as an artist

02:04and, um, don't be afraid to be different.

02:09I mean, I think I struggled at the beginning with kind of figuring out where my place is in

02:13this industry and finally I was like, oh, I can't be anyone else.

02:16I have to be myself.

02:18And that I think has been the key to like why I keep working because I think I've just

02:23kind of carved my own path.

02:25And I think that's what you have to do as an artist, even though it feels difficult to

02:28kind of claim that power.

02:30But I think that's the key.

02:32So.

02:33Thank you so much for your words.
