Congratulations to all the nominees in all categories.

How beautiful to be a part of such a rich and heartfelt community.

Lead Actor in a Musical.

Still, Im thrilled.

This is new for all of us.

This is a show that is authored by a lot of people.

Also the truly magnificent cast and crew who studied and questioned every single word.

And certainly Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, who have been gracious and generous in every way imaginable.

They are the greatest, and I am the luckiest.

I loved every moment of directingTravesties.

To be nominated for a Tony award for doing so feels like a gift too far.

But I am extremely grateful to receive it.

Weve all worked so hard between DC and our Broadway opening.

It feels so fantastic to have that work recognized.

thats how I feel.

Thrilled for the show itself.

When my name was read, I fell completely silent.

Much to my own surprise, it brought me to a place of quiet reflection.

Also, congrats to every single person who has made theater this year, thats what I say!

Talk about good company, wow!

Im also over-the-moon proud of the amazing Spongebob Squarepants cast, crew and creative team.

When I got the nomination, Lauren screamed I screamed too thoroughly scaring our toddler.

I looked out the window and thought to myself, Im just gonna take a walk.

Cue airpods, fresh air, and Ariana Grande.

8:44 AM my phone rings.

On the other end my beautiful parents screaming, crying, laughing…all of it!

My whole world was rocked.

I literally ran to the nearest tree and held my hand to it.

The initial thing that drew me to Ti Mounes story was the sense of love and community.

Not only among the people who raised her, but the people who raised her up on her journey.

Im literally the only person here Ive never heard of.

Tonys, what the hell?

Thanks, by the way.

That was very lovely of you.

Let me say also to the Tony nominators thanks for acknowledging every possible corner of the production they could.

Ms. Metcalf can I just stand next to you?!

What an effing honour, esp for HP&CC Company.

Thank You Tony People.

I was biting my nails and refreshing the Facebook page over and over.

Im blown away, truly honored to be in such amazing company.

Not-to-mention the wonderful and loyal theatergoers who make this job such an absolute pleasure.

Cheers to all the nominees.

Im thrilled to be included in this incredible line up of powerhouse women.

My high school self is absolutely geeking out right now!…

To be able to represent our show, to represent Donna is priceless!

Needless to say I burst into tears when I saw my face on that screen during the live stream.

Its a proud moment, indeed… Im just so GRATEFUL!

And amongst all those incredible actors and artists?

Im just so honored.

And to do so in person!

I am over the moon for Spongebob.

Getting recognized for so many categories is awesome for our fabulous show.

Thank you Tony Awards!

I couldnt be happier to be a part of this show.

Truly too gay/overwhelmed to function.

I am so grateful to be included in this category.

It is a dream.

Every ounce of me is dizzy with gratitude.

Wholly honored by this recognition from a community that I so cherish being a part of.

I couldnt be surrounded by better people and better artists; my heart is so happy right now.

It is a rare honor.

But, I am especially thrilled that the whole company has been recognized for their beautiful work.

I get to be on that stage every night witnessing it all.

It is a joy.

Huge thanks to Todd Haimes and all at the Roundabout.

To David Babani and Tom Syracuse at the Chocolate Factory.

To Sonia Friedman, Patrick Marber, Tom Stoppard and the rest of the brilliant company of Travesties.

Like a comical confetti shower of ideas projected in strange and beautiful patterns by the genius of Tom Stoppard.
