Tony Address

At the risk of this here blog turning into one large congratulatory embrace toward our friends... this one deserves it.

Congrats to Steph D'Abruzzo -- a friend from the dorm back at Northwestern -- for landing a friggin' Tony nomination today!

A Tony nom. Dude, that's beyond awesome. Steph got the nod for performing as Kate Monster, the "single puppet looking for love," in the Broadway smash "Avenue Q."

She'll be up against Kristin Chenoweth ("Wicked"), Idina Menzel ("Wicked"), Donna Murphy ("Wonderful Town") and Tonya Pinkins ("Caroline, or Change"). Go Steph!
