Laura Osnes
Nominated for Best Actress in a Musical, Bonnie & Clyde

“I was asleep in my bed and got a call from my agent saying, ‘Call me now!’ and my heart started to race. I knew the Tonys were this morning, but I was not expecting this at all. I started crying and my husband said, ‘What's going?’ And I said, ‘I might have been nominated for a Tony.’ I’m shocked and grateful and just can't believe it! My agents said their whole office just erupted when my name was called. I did not see it coming at all. I'm so honored. I can't believe i! I'm getting text after text and call after call. I've heard from all the Bonnie & Clyde people: Jeff [Calhoun] and Jeremy [Jordan] and a bunch of the cast members. Sutton Foster texted me this morning; it’s going to be the best day! It's overwhelming to even think about it. It’s the Oscar night of Broadway! I’ll get to buy a pretty dress and go with my husband; it’s going to be an amazing night! I have plans to bake with one of my friends. It was my dog’s birthday last weekend, and we're having a puppy party on Thursday, so we're going to make dog cupcakes. Maybe we'll make a few extra ones to celebrate.”
