The morning the Tony nominations are announced, phones start buzzing with texts and calls for the happy few who get nods. As usual, Broadway.com is among the callers offering congratulations and getting responses. Here are the first reactions from 2012 Tony nominees. Congrats to all!

Nina Arianda
Nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Play, Venus in Fur

“I'm so grateful and flattered. To be honored alongside these amazing women is surreal, it's wonderful. I’m overjoyed [at Venus in Fur’s Best Play nomination]! This play has meant so much to me. David Ives has written such a wonderful piece of theater and an amazingly strong female character, which is so rare. I am so proud to be a part of this team. Working with Walter Bobbie, David Ives and Hugh Dancy has been such a rewarding experience and a profound pleasure.”
