Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical

For The Drowsy Chaperone

Oh my goodness gracious, snakes alive! Breathe, breathe. First of all thank you Bob Martin and Janet Van De Graaff for getting married and having this amazing bachelor party thing that has become our Drowsy Chaperone. Thank you life, for the privilege of being on the same page as Felicia and Elizabeth and Megan and Carolee. I'm overwhelmed. Thank you to our producers, thank to our creative team and I must tell my director, my brilliant Casey Nicholaw, thank you for trusting me with this role of a lifetime. Because of your faith in me, my friend, I am flying. Thank you sister, thank you Pat Sullivan, my wrangler, thank you Mark Redanty and all the boys at Bauman, Redanty & Shaul, thank you John Milne, my husband, I love you, thank you T.J. and Sam, I love you, and thank you American Theatre Wing for letting this be. Lynn and Ruby Leavel in Raliegh, North Carolina--they are the proudest parents on earth right now. Cheers darling! I love my job. Thank you.
