[@AmyLovatt1]

I don't understand. How does someone have so much inner beauty, generosity, thirst for life, happiness and genuine spirit. WOW?!?

[@volatilemolotov667]

oh, hi amy! also i 100% agree, she's the absolute best.

[@sethjerabek1513]

Amy Lovatt get on broadway?

[@tylerjerabek5204]

Seth Jerabek that sounds like the best plan, Seth, who might be a Cousin somehow

[@skylarryan4330]

just take one second and imagine being in a group chat with Stephanie J. Block, Jenn Colella, Rachel Bay Jones, Mary Beth Peil, and Kate Baldwin...

[@maggiepeterson7915]

😍😍

[@MysteriousGirl10]

I would die!

[@whimsicallymad7580]

Jenn Collela is literally a ray of sunshine and such a beautiful beautiful person. Just her saying, "Hi!" can brighten your day because she is that lovely and lively and genuine. She is what I aspire to be as a professional and a person.

[@rebekahk199]

What a genuine, bright spirit. I have so much respect for all 5 of the women in that category! How beautiful.

[@emilymeagher608]

Jenn talking about her crying at the dinner made me well up! What an extraordinarily kind, passionate, loving individual. So so so wish I could see this show, but I live across the pond... :(

[@coolness06]

I just got home from my NYC vacation a few days ago. I had the pleasure of seeing Jenn Colella in Come From Away and meeting her afterward at the stage door. She was so kind and genuine! I also got to see Rachel Bay Jones and Kate Baldwin in their Tony Nominated performances and have heard nothing but great things about Stephanie J. Block and Mary Beth Peil. What an amazing lineup of nominees! I cannot wait for this year's Tony Awards, it is sure to be an amazing night :)

[@aliciaf1214]

Jenn is such an inspiration and I love seeing the Tony love between all the women. Love it.

[@coraa232]

"Me and my friends. More like me and my mom." 😂😂😂

[@logictron]

WHO THUMBS DOWNED THIS VIDEO? WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU?? BOTH OF YOU?? Even if you somehow don't like her voice or her acting (which, like, what? But okay.), how could you not absolutely adore this woman for her spirit and her kindness and the love she puts out into the universe?? And the best part is that she is every bit as genuine and wonderful in real life as she is in this video. I have such a deep respect and love for Jenn Colella. I am beyond thrilled that she is finally getting this recognition (and for such an important, unbelievable role). These videos are a pure gift.

[@woodbeck]

I actually adore her! let your light shine girl, let you kindness shine!

[@vickyrobinson6429]

My only goal before I die is to love life as much as Jenn Colella

[@forestno0k]

I love how she says ‘awesome’

[@wieldwords]

I stumbled onto this channel out of literally nowhere. To quote the great philosophers Genesis, I can’t dance; I can’t sing. Truth be told, I’ve never really been interested in Broadway. But I am now head over heels in love with Ms Colella. What a gorgeous, gracious, seemingly absolutely lovely human being. Even though this isn’t my wheelhouse, even through a screen, I felt welcome and encouraged, and what a beautiful gift that is. I get it now, and am better for it.

[@charliep123]

7:25 me when I saw Come From Away

[@IsThisSarah]

I aspire to be as kind and lovely and grateful and full of joy as Jenn is. ♥️

[@saschahoupt6177]

The cast has so much fun... I love how they're so lively!

[@SecretlySnowQueen]

This video made me tear up with happiness. What an outstanding and radiant person. Her wisdom is incredible- with or without a water cooler.

[@anmcc171]

I want a love for life and a love for people like Jenn! What a beautiful, positive person!

[@stephenp4107]

I got to shadow the PSM in Toronto and meet everyone in the cast, they look like they're having so much fun now!!!

[@the_outlandish_owl]

At 7,.18 I thought she was going to say "and then they brought the cod".

[@Noelle-ef9yw]

She is so genuinely kind, not to mention incredibly talented as well!!

[@1hot2fuzz3]

I feel like such a lovely person could not fit any better in a play about human kindness.

[@AmyLovatt1]

Ok but for real... can I marry her?

[@jackunderwood3906]

Amy Lovatt well if neither of you can, I will.

[@xingcat]

Oh, her enthusiasm and generosity and happy attitude is so infectious! What a great blog!

@@MysteriousGirl10 No, it's okay! And 'Come From Away' is such an amazing show! I've never been lucky enough to see it live, but the songs tell you everything all on their own.

@@mikaelacash3791 I know right? It's awesome! I want to see it live so bad but sadly I'll never be able to because it's closed.

Yaaaaaaaaaaas

[@triplecase333]

#Tonti Where can I find people like Jenn Colella?

[@kateoliver341]

Can you possibly explain the show next episode

[@justinm2697]

Agreed. I could look it up I'm sure, and I will. But from what I know, it is partly about the passengers on diverted planes on 9/11 to Newfoundland, Canada. But I think it goes on further in time somehow and talks about the war afterwards. Not sure, but a few veterans have made comments on this series saying that they appreciate being mentioned.

[@kateoliver341]

Sally thanks so much...I listened to the whole album and got the main idea but just some clarification so thanks!!!!

[@goosesoul8582]

the things i would do to be at that table....

[@kathleenmc5062]

[@lyndsaykatz1440]

[@TheMoggFREE]
