00:00how special is it to be here tonight and be representing your show as a nominee it's so
00:05wonderful i mean i i finished in my play before christmas and so to get to come back and revisit
00:13it and just remember how amazing that experience was and get to celebrate it is it's a beautiful
00:18thing take me back to nomination morning where were you when you found out who's the first person
00:23you told i was in california trying trying not to know anything about it i've been on a night
00:28shoot the night before and i had a night shoot the next night and i was trying to sleep but i so i
00:33put my phone on do not disturb but i knew my body woke me up anyway because i was like i have to
00:38know i have to know how the play did as a whole and um and it was fantastic you know i was so i was
00:44really amazed that we got seven nominations for our play and that was a really incredible thing
00:49like i said because you know we had closed back in december and um yeah i can't even remember who
00:55the first person was i spoke to probably somebody at work what's been the most rewarding part about
01:02this role for you always just the long-term playing of it that's always the most rewarding aspect the
01:11relationships that i form in the theater the um what i get to know about myself in the process i mean
01:17in this particular job we uh our playwright wrote rewrote the entire third act just before we came to
01:24broadway and that was the most terrifying thing that i've ever had to face and yet i did it and
01:29it went brilliantly and so i feel like i found something out that i thought i couldn't do and it
01:34turns out i can so those learning moments are always massive is there one person that you would
01:39especially like to thank tonight for championing your love for the arts and getting you here
01:43um my who is now no longer with us um but my irish dancing teacher when i was a kid patricia mulholland
01:51was the first one that made me uh realize that there was a possibility of actually being on the stage
01:57for for your life so many incredible uh shows and productions this season is there another one
02:04thought of your own that really wowed you i saw nicole in sunset boulevard um just when i'd come
02:13into town in september it was the only one i really had a chance to see and she was spectacular she
02:20absolutely blew me away um i didn't get a chance to see all the ones that i would love to see because
