George on Gary: "I think it's a brilliant play. I think it's a daring play. I think everyone joined it because we wanted to be part of bringing this unique, odd, brilliant American voice to Broadway and so I'm very proud of the seven nominations because it's less about the individuals who are nominated and more about the collective energy invested in telling this wonderful story, which is about how do people without power stand up to power."
