Video: Kevin Cahoon Opens Up About His 29-Year Journey to the Tonys

Almost three decades after making his Broadway debut in The Who's Tommy, Kevin Cahoon finally knows what a Tony nomination feels like. Playing 'Peanut' in Shucked got him there.

When this honor happened to me, I had 200 text messages within the first hour and a half. That's what this community is! They cheerlead for each other."
