I am thrilled to be sitting with you
0:09
Thank you. You have a Tony pin. I know. I know. Who would have ever thunk it
0:14
When they pinned that on to you, what were you thinking? Do you remember
0:18
I was like, where do I put it? I just was like, I didn't have that moment at that moment
0:23
because I was seeing all these people I've worked with for decades that are in the same room
0:28
and that made me so happy. I was just like, look at this. But I haven't even looked. Wow
0:35
You've worked so hard throughout your career. And now here you are. It's Tony day
0:39
I know. I know. I never thought. You know, I was always an off-Broadway rat
0:44
or a regional theater actress. I never thought this would come my way
0:50
I didn't even get to my first Broadway show all the way until I was in my 50s
0:54
So it's like I'm so late to this party, but it's like in a funny way being the latest late bloomer
1:01
It's really, it feels very resonant and beautiful. And I feel I'm old enough to be incredibly grateful
1:08
What's made this show so special for you? It's exquisitely written. It was directed by somebody I consider the greatest
1:18
mind and heart of theater, David Cromer. I had an incredible cast
1:23
I just, I feel like this play was about something that was so deeply meaningful to me
1:28
and about my own family history and about something historically prescient at the moment that it's happening
1:34
That to combine those things together to tell a three hour and 15 minute story
1:40
I mean, I was starting the third act when most of the people on Broadway were at the bar
1:46
I, you know, I had the heaviest lifting to do after 10 PM. And I just feel like I worked, I worked my whole career
1:54
to work this hard. And it just made me happy that I get to keep doing it
1:58
You know, the more you do, the more you can do. What's next for you
