Ahead of the Tony Awards, ET spoke with the nominated actors behind this season’s most notable Broadway performances.

How the Broadway actress went from teaching public school to a 2018 Tony Award nominee.

The actress plays Regina George in the “Mean Girls” musical, going from small-town girl to the most feared teen on Broadway.

“I wondered if I could shift other people’s perception of me a little,” the actor tells ET.

The actor is nominated for playing the titular sponge in an original adaptation of the long-running animated series.

For many, playing Prior Walter in Tony Kushner’s landmark play would be daunting. Not for Garfield.

The longtime stage and screen actress -- nominated for her performance in “My Fair Lady” -- last appeared on Broadway nearly 25 years ago.

The actress realizes she’s a “lightning rod” for conversations, but is happy to see a new generation of fans challenge their own preconceived notions about who the character is.

The actor explains how he evolved the character beyond being “too gay to function” in Tina Fey’s musical adaptation of the 2004 hit teen film.

Nominated for a 2018 Tony Award, the actress discusses why ‘Carousel’ resonates today.

Shoshannah Stern, Josh Feldman and Nyle DiMarco are just a few of the rising deaf stars taking control of how deaf stories are written and portrayed on stage and screen, telling ET, “we’ve always been here.”
