Video: Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer Didn't See SPAMALOT (or a Nomination) Coming
Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role for Spamalot.
Why let go of the Lady of the Lake? Especially after she brought about a first-time Tony nomination for Broadway favorite Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer!
"I didn't think that this would be a part that I would play! I have this idea of a tall, glamorous, Amazon woman. Then the part came along and when my name was read that day, it was really full circle. I feel so honored," she explained to BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "All I ever dreamed about, really, was getting nominated. The winning part is something else. It's a cherry on top. But for the nomination, I feel really grateful."
She in fact brought back the beloved character for a pre-Tonys tour last week with Lady of the Lake: The Farewell Tour. Check out excluve (hilarious) coverage from inside the big night.
