I cannot believe this. I feel like I'm just even seeing your face. I think of how many events we've done
0:15
and it's always so special, and this is, like, this is unbelievable
0:20
I'm just pinching myself. You have a Tony pin. I have a Tony pin
0:24
They can never take this away from me. I almost thought about just, like, taking an extra one
0:29
just in case. You know, I have a 3-year-old. Things disappear. So, honestly, like, can I have an extra one
0:33
I don't know. What's made this show so special for you? Oh
0:39
I think it's a combination of things. I think it's a story that I tell
0:45
the way it's told, the way that I feel the most me in my skin
0:51
when I'm doing this show, and the fact that I have an almost 3-year-old
0:57
who is, like, started discovering what this all is at the same time with me
1:03
and seeing curiosity through her eyes. Having her is, like, it's just perspective
1:10
and it, honestly, it's very special now. I can appreciate it in its fullest at this moment in time
1:16
Take me back to the youngest Betsy, like that first school play or kindergarten play that you did
1:21
and what would older Betsy tell younger Betsy? Ugh. Just keep on believing in yourself
1:30
I, yeah, I've been doing this a long time, and I've known I've wanted to do this for a long time
1:35
and it feels very surreal that you can honestly say, I've known I've wanted to do this for a long time
1:42
but also then that that actually happens and that you have people that support you
1:46
and that all those magical things that need to line up have lined up
1:51
and that's not to say that there's been a lot of, you know, ups and downs throughout the course of it
1:56
but I sit here in this moment today, and I'm just floored
2:01
The 15-year-old Betsy would be really, really happy. What was that earliest play, that first thing you did
2:07
One of the first things I can ever remember was playing the dormouse in Alice in Wonderland
2:11
I think I had three or four lines, and I remember vividly my best friend at the time
2:16
who's still my best friend, asked me, what are your lines, and I was like, well, I can't tell you. It's very, very secret
2:23
and she's still my best friend. And you have a Tony pin. I have a Tony pin
