Today we're studying up on Sarah Stiles!
Her Nomination: Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical
The Show: Tootsie
The Role: Sandy Lester
Up Against: Lilli Cooper (Tootsie), Amber Gray (Hadestown), Ali Stroker (Oklahoma!), Mary Testa (Oklahoma!)
Did You Know?: Sarah made her Broadway debut as a replacement in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Sarah on Tootsie: "I love portraying a disaster of a human- a messy, chaotic, emotional animal that is also so lovable and at the end of the day, wins. To have people laughing like that, all I've ever wanted to do is make people laugh since I was a little teeny person and I get to do a lot of that in the show."
watch as Sarah tells us all about what this nomination means to her, how she's preparing for the Tonys, and so much more!
