Video: Chloe Lamford Reacts to Tony Win and Shares Easter Eggs from Her Scenic Design
Death of a Salesman is currently playing at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Earlier tonight at the 79th Annual Tony Awards, Chloe Lamford took home a Tony Award for Best Scenic Design of a Play for Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. After leaving the stage at Radio City Music Hall, she checked in with BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge to share her initial reaction!
"I've always worked on new plays in my career. I worked a lot at the Royal Court Theatre and I always worked with new writers," she explained. "So I guess I feel quite robust about hitting things like a new play and that's exciting that it feels kind of alive. Joe [Mantello], he was so brave about how we went into it and that we were going to look at it in a fresh way. Like, let's keep mining it, let's keep asking questions. And we kept going and that was really special."
