Bob Martin and Don McKellar

Best Book of a Musical

For The Drowsy Chaperone

Bob Martin: Thank you, America! This show expresses the voice of a group writers and performers in Toronto and we want to share this award with them. Not literally, but figuratively. And also on behalf of my agents, I want to thank Janet Van De Graaff for marrying me in the first place.

Don McKellar: We share this award with our inspirational leader and director and friend Casey Nicholaw. Without him we would have been deported back to Canada a long time ago. And I wish we had time to thank other people but we really don't. If we did I would thank Kevin and Roy, our producers; Lisa; Gregg; Matt; our parents; and my girlfriend, Tracy--but we don't have time for that list so instead let me just thank the American musical comedy that has been around for about a 100 years now inspiring people, transporting them, and giving people like Bob and me lots of material to make fun of. So we are so honored to be in this company, thank you.
