Was just about dealing with the excitement of being given the part. This honour from @TheTonyAwards may well provoke a bunny killing spree.

Of course, not everyone we were rooting for received a nomination, and, let's be honest, we're pissed. Fortunately, most of our favorite performers who were not recognized today handled it with grace, having nothing but kind words to say about their peers and shows:
