“First of all, Congratulations to my fellow “Tenor” nominees Jeff, Carol and Rosann, and Lou from “Company”. I’m especially thrilled and happy for all of you seeing that we’re not up for any of the same categories ! It’s always flattering to be recognized like this win or not, I had a great time with this show. Jen Ludwig really crafted a gem here. Thanks to Ray Kostulias and everone in the cast and crew. Also, thanks to Bill Fikaris and The Players. It’s always been a pleasure working with you all. I hope to get a chance to mix it up again soon.”
