21 Tony Award nominations across 6 productions.

I feel truly grateful and honored to be a producer on a season that included @twostrangersmusical, @lostboysmusical, @godotbway, @artonbway, @proofbroadway, and @callmeizzyplay

This recognition represents so much more than a number - it reflects the extraordinary artists, creatives, production teams, producing partners, investors, and collaborators who poured their talent, heart, and belief into bringing these stories to life.

To everyone who helped make this season possible: thank you. It is a privilege to support this work, help share these stories, and be part of the Broadway community in this way.

Deeply grateful, deeply honored, and very excited for what’s ahead.

With apologies to @mammamiamusical as my playbill was mislaid, and @roundaboutnyc’s #FallenAngels which I enjoyed so much I mangled the playbill in my enthusiasm and the cover tore off.

The ending of @callmeizzyplay starring @realjeansmart leaves audiences with one haunting question. 🎭

Is that bright light at the bus stop the bus finally arriving… or someone coming to drag Izzy back? 🤔

Host @atcinnyc and guest co-host @nikkipoppinsrn talk through the final moments of the play and why the ambiguity might actually be the point. 💡
