I said to you, welcome to Broadway opening night. Now you're in our Tony booth, and you got a Tony pin
0:14
How about that? I'm blessed. Thank you very much. Have you been able to put any of it into perspective
0:19
of what this whole journey has been like for you on this show
0:22
It takes time to look at how I find myself sitting here
0:29
But in terms of what the journey was for me, I just wanted to tell the truth
0:33
And, you know, we had 120-something-plus opportunities to do that. We took it one show at a time
0:40
and I tried to take it one moment at a time. You know, up until the last show
0:44
I was learning, discovering, still making notes. And so, you know, it was a long process
0:52
but one that I'm so, so grateful for. And I'm still processing, you know, what it all means
0:58
But isn't that great about the theater? You do a performance, you say, I had a really great show tonight
1:02
I get to do another one tomorrow, or sometimes two in the same day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure
1:05
I mean, with this show, it's really about the chase. It's really about the chase of the truth
1:12
of all of those moments. This is not one that we wanted to do by the numbers
1:19
The stakes are too high. The words are too good. And once the curtain goes down the last time
1:28
we'll never get to do that again. You know, I'm never gonna play Booth, and Corey's never gonna play Lincoln on Broadway again
1:36
Definitely not with this identical configuration, and even no day is identical
1:41
So there was always more to learn and more to share
