ET correspondent and SiriusXM radio host Seth Rudetsky chatted with Tony presenter Maggie Gyllenhaal on last night's red carpet and asked the actress if she would consider coming to Broadway in a musical.

"Listen I would love to do a musical," she shared, adding "To be honest, I have auditioned now for a couple of musicals and not been given a part and I just wonder if at a certain point I just have to take the hint, you know. But I would love to!"
