VIDEO: Tony Nominee Jefferson Mays Goes Behind-the-Scenes of 'GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE'

Below, A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER star and Tony nominee Jefferson Mays gives a behind-the-scenes look at the hit Broadway musical from his dressing room at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

In the exclusive USA Today video, the actor talks about his role in the show, which he says gives him a nightly cardio workout. "I'm in perpetual motion on stage, and off stage," says the talented star. "I'm doing extremely strenuous and complicated costume changes. The entire evening just passes in a blur; I'm awash in sweat and utterly spent. And we have two shows on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I'm in my 50th year, you know - I have to go crawling home and into my oxygen tent, practically."
