It's Tony day, you've got a Tony pin
0:12
It's happened. I can't believe it. We're here. Is it surreal? It is
0:17
It really is surreal. I was just coming here and I was looking at my Instagram messages and someone from Iran
0:22
was like, unbelievable that I was nominated for a Tony. For so many people, this is so surreal
0:31
It just never happens. I still am pinching myself, even though it's the second time
0:37
What's made this so special for you with working on this production of A Doll's House
0:42
What's made it so special is Jamie Lloyd and Amy Herzog and Jessica Chastain and the incredible
0:49
company that's there. We love going to work every day. We love doing the show every day
0:54
As hard as it is to sit in those chairs for two hours, but it is really just kind of like
1:00
the magic of that world. And the other thing that I love about doing A Doll's House is there's so many different
1:06
responses that we have. People that have gone through bad relationships, people that are wanting to know what to do
1:13
next, people that might be stuck, Iranians that see the show in a completely different light
1:18
So it's been nice to have all these different DNAs be brought back to us and say, this is
1:23
what the play means to me. Take me back to your youngest self
1:26
The first play you ever did. It could be in kindergarten, before then. What was it and what would the older version of yourself tell your younger self now
1:34
The first play I did, I was Santa Claus's personal trainer because the Santa Claus was
1:44
stuck here and I had to get him into shape. And that was the first play I did
1:52
But the name of that play is, don't know. What would I thought
1:57
You know, to be honest with you, I never thought that you could get paid to do theater
2:01
As a young kid, immigrant kid, I never thought once you can actually get paid for this
2:06
So I would have thought, hey, letting you know now, you can get paid for this
2:10
Keep going, keep going. Look where you are now. Two pins you have. Two
2:14
Can you believe it? I can't believe it. I can't believe it
