Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition. I cannot stop crying, to no one's surprise.
I am so deeply proud of my beautiful Wicked family. I am so proud of my Elphie, my sister, my dear @cynthiaerivo. Your brilliance is never ending and you deserve every flower in every garden.
I'm humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland...before the big, beautiful bubble entered.
While I don't quite have all my words yet, I'm still trying to breathe, but thank you. Oh my goodness, thank you.
