"I was in front of my computer watching the live stream of the announcements with my partner and a friend from LA and we were drinking mimosas, which I never drink! But we had the champagne left over so we made the mimosas and we figured that we could either celebrate or drown our sorrows. The first person I called was Sherie Rene Scott, my collaborator. We are all just so thrilled; this whole journey has been so unexpected and has had its own destiny. It is just lovely that it has been such a beautiful one. I loved writing the show, so being nominated for it is so gratifying. For the rest of the day I will be working on The Unsinkable Molly Brown for a workshop which is a grounding thing to do. Since we just opened there has already been so much celebrating, we need to ground ourselves a bit as well!"

"This is really exciting for me, especially coming in at the end of the season. It's all been really fun and this makes our job that much easier to go out there and do the show that we believe in and love so much.  It gives the show a burst of energy that a little underdog show like ours needs!  Dick and I are proud of what we wrote. To celebrate? My husband got me a veggie juice from Juice Generation and a muffin and will probably the last thing I get to eat today!  And then I get
to celebrate by getting to do a Broadway show tonight.  I'm looking forward to our "alcohol free" toast."
