A so well-deserved Tony nomination

What does it mean to you? It means that I'm seen, I'm heard
0:14
It means people, your peers especially, who know what this life is, know what this work
0:21
is about and how hard we work, certainly not for the money, but because of the craft and
0:27
honing it that you're seen. And people say, add a girl, that's the win
0:32
How does it feel to stop the show every night? I wouldn't know because I'm always walking off crying, but I'm especially happy that
0:42
people are so moved. I can hear it during the song in some quieter moments that people are just, and you can
0:49
feel it. So it means the world to be able to move people like that
0:53
That's what I wanted to do from a little girl. I want to move people. I want to make them laugh. I want to make them cry
0:58
I want them to feel. What's made this show so special? Because you've worked on some amazing shows
1:03
The most special thing about this show for me is probably how many young people are in
1:09
it and how many Broadway debuts are happening. And to be a part, what they call a veteran, they sometimes call me legend, and I'm like
1:19
that's code for old actress. Don't call me a legend. But to be able to watch everything through their eyes and be able to help them when they
1:28
need help and guide them when they need guidance, it's fantastic. I changed legend to goddess
1:34
Yes, I'll take that. Right? I'll take that. New young audiences coming to the theater for your show, what that means to you
1:41
Yeah, it means I love that new young audiences are coming to the theater, first of all
1:48
And second of all, that they're seeing themselves, that stories are being told now where everybody
1:53
can see themselves. There's more work to be done, but certainly with our show, everybody can find themselves
1:58
Any person, any nationality, you can find yourself
