“After putting the robe on, I began the journey of circling the stage, or rather, the stair maze at the Imperial. What was most thrilling to me was the opportunity to really look into the eyes of each person, cast and crew, as I passed them, celebrating the strong ensemble piece of theatre we've created in The Great Comet. For me, receiving the robe is an honor that is not taken lightly. It's given to someone who represents the spirit of commitment and perseverance in the world of theatre. I'm very proud to be that person for this brilliant production and to join the ranks of those before me who've celebrated their successes with this great tradition. I feel emotional writing this!”
