SO proud of our show and every single human involved with it for our Best Musical Tony nomination! This is a group of humans like no other, and every one of them should be recognized individually not just for their work, but for their hearts. Let the sun shine on! #FrozenBroadway pic.twitter.com/gDssAZy99Z

A lot going through my head right now. But first, two things: 1) @TinaLandau leads with artistry and her collaborators (us) follow. 2) thank you to EVERYONE who made theater this season. Honored to be a part of this community. https://t.co/l7weGrEiRa

Congratulations to all the Tony Nominees, and all the Non-nominees, and everyone who fell in love with working on the school play AND THEN ACTUALLY GETS TO KEEP DOING IT IN REAL LIFE. How f*ckin lucky and talented you are, all of you.
