Folks! The Tony nominations are here and we have thoughts! We are breaking down this years noms, the snubs that we didn't see coming, we're sharing what we LOVED, what we haven't seen (but want to!), and what (and who) we're rooting for!

We are so happy for our girl June Squibb (and former guest of YMKHF) and also for Hannah Cruz (an actor we have long been rooting for from her performance as Rose in her high school production of Gypsy. Yes, actually...watch.)

What have you seen? Who are YOU rooting for? What do you still want to see? And which snub hit you hardest? What role do you think Alecia Pink Moore is eyeing and will this hosting gig get her job?

You Might Know Her From Orange Is The New Black, Hair, Cheers, Desperately Seeking Susan, Baby Boom, The Pebble & The Penguin, and Broadway productions of Assassins, Violet, Leader of the Pack, and Into the Woods. We get into so much Broadway and punk rock history of New York legend, Annie Golden. From playing the "flower girl who will not wilt" in Hair, to Norma, the almost-mute, on Orange is the New Black, to singing with Darlene Love, singing AS Squeaky Fromme, and singing as a tree-mama in Into the Woods. She is a hoot and a beacon of light in these dark times. Get into it!

Keiko gave us all the scoop on playing Lane on Gilmore Girls, how she REALLY felt about where her character ended up, and if she thinks there's more story to tell in Stars Hollow. Plus, improvising with Mo'Nique and Taraji, shadowing Frances McDormand as she finessed Michael Bay, and transitioning to authority figure roles when you're so iconically a "teen" on screen. Keiko was so kind and warm and maybe made Anne and Damian think about improvisation in an ideally way? We loved it!
