Thankfully, the meat of the Tony telecast is the performances from the shows, so the awards show kind of creates itself around the season, and then I fill in based on the vibe of the season in general. I'm happy that there'll be so many legitimately good performances on the show.

The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.

There's a lot of pressure on Broadway. There's this feeling that the show has to be a commercial success and the producers have to make their money back and Tonys and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Being on Broadway and getting a Tony nomination - this has been an incredible ride, from rather humble beginnings.

For your first musical in New York, to go to Broadway and be nominated for a Tony is a dream come true.

What I enjoy so much about the Tonys' uniqueness is that anyone who's tuning in has an interest in seeing the show, so our job is halfway done.

I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid.

I love the Broadway audiences, who relish live drama and don't hesitate to display their enthusiasm.

I'm always going back to New York for Broadway workshops or reading. So I always keep my foot in the door: I'm always on the lookout for the next Broadway show.

It's a very tough time for the playwright. Broadway has become almost a musical comedy theme park with all these long-running shows.
