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.

I understood very little about the significance of the Tony before, but I've learned that it makes a huge significance to whether or not your show is going to run.

The pleasant surprise for me is that when I look into Tony's eyes, he's still 100% present, sharing everything that's going on. Acting with him is like a beautiful dance.

The Tonys are the once-a-year shot for all of these shows and artists who work so diligently every single performance but only for a thousand or so people at a time. This gives them the opportunity to perform to millions of people.

There's something so quirky and fun and nerdy about the Tony Awards... We're dorks being silly up there.

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

I'll talk about my Tony all day long.

But I can't wait to watch the Tonys this Sunday. I'm really glad Broadway is doing so well this year, especially with its straight plays. It's been a wonderful year.

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

The Tonys are also kind of like a homegrown party. You know everybody.
