''And you don't know how proudly he'll place the award on his mantel and how much he'll cherish it.''
After the Tony nominations were announced in October, this was Aaron's reaction:
''It's a huge honor and I am so grateful to be nominated!! It's also vitally important to highlight that this recognition represents, collectively, thousands of hours of work by hundreds of individuals working on 'Moulin Rouge! The Musical.' ...''
And as recently as last month, here's what Aaron said about the Tony nominations to the New York Times:
''I was so happy they decided to go forward with it — it was a strange year and a shortened season, but there was a lot of great work done. I’ve tried to think of my nomination as recognition of my work and the performance. And I did reach out to [“The Lightning Thief” actor] Chris McCarrell, who was the other person who could have been nominated — I’ve had a couple of difficult Tony mornings, so I understand what that feels like.''
Based on what Aaron's said, I'd say the Tonys and what they represent matter to him, and he WOULD be very proud to put a Tony on his mantel. |
