'My wife called me this morning with the news. I was upstate this morning at our house in New York which is out of cell phone reception, but she managed to get through the switchboard and to reach me and it was a great way to hear and she of course was thrilled too. Honestly, I always thought that the show as pretty wonderful since I saw it in London and I thought that we could make quite the splash in New York with it and I'm glad that I was right about it!

'I'm so excited. I'm a late sleeper so I figured last night that if there was going to be good news this morning that I'd find out when i woke up and at least get in a few more hours of my beauty sleep. My boyfriend had called to tell me the news. I just love working on this show. Kristin Chenoweth and I have known each other forever and I'm a huge fan of hers so getting to do a show with her has been great and, God, Sean Hayes is a comedic genius. He's just so generous. The reason that I can do what I do up there is because he encourages complete abandonment. I'm so glad that he's making his Broadway debut in such a huge way.'

I heard the phone ringing and I had suspected that it had something to do with that because normally people don't call me at half past 8 in the morning!
