Video: Mikaal Sulaiman Reacts to Tony Win- 'It Wasn't Easy'
Death of a Salesman is currently playing at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Earlier tonight at the 79th Annual Tony Awards, Mikaal Sulaiman took home a Tony Award for Best Sound Design of a Play for Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. After leaving the stage at Radio City Music Hall, he checked in with BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge to share his initial reaction!
"I'm just glad that we're all getting recognized for our hard work, because it took a lot to get to this place now. There were a lot of moments where we were like, 'Is this working? Does this make any sense?' Even having the young Biff and the young Happy on stage, Joe [Mantello] came up with such inventive ideas to make sure that it feels seamless and integrated," he explained. "I feel like it worked on so many levels and it wasn't an easy trek, but you know, it's obviously worth it."
Originally from Rochester New York, Mikaal Sulaiman currently resides in Los Angeles working primarily as a sound designer and composer. He attended the University of the Arts receiving a BFA and later studied the Jacque Lecoq approach to avant-garde theatre at the London International School of Performing Arts. Mikaal also writes and directs from time to time. He is currently writing and devising a new headphone play titled Project Black Plague. PBP has received artist residencies at Space on Ryder Farm in upstate New York, UCross Foundation in Wyoming, as well as VoxFest at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Mikaal’s sound design credits on world premiere shows include: Rags Parkland (Ars Nova; Lucille Lortel Award winner), Fairview (Soho Rep; Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama), Underground Railroad Game (Ars Nova; Obie Award winner). He has received nominations from Bay Area Theatre Critics, Audelco Award, Lucille Lortel Award, and Drama Desk Award for sound design.
