The New York Times - Tony nominees

The New York Times asked 38 Tony nominees to describe a skill they had to pick up for a role onstage or onscreen.

“The typewriter stuff in ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ was some of the most stressful stuff as we were starting up. At the beginning of ‘Opening Doors,’ my character is using a typewriter, and the song’s percussion is the sound of letter strikes and carriage returns. So there’s getting all that in all the right places, and I don’t read music. I took a typewriter home and I’d just be in my room bashing away.”
