A presenter’s perspective: Beth Leavel

I chatted with Beth Leavel about what it’s like to be up on that stage announcing the award.
“It’s tangible. You vibrate when you’re up there,” the Tony-winner said. “And I’m like ‘I’m too old to vibrate.’”
It’s like nothing she’s experienced on Broadway, she says. “Not unbridled enthusiasm like that. It’s a blast. I was telling someone back stage, how it’s really good for us old farts to be here. It feeds our soul and it’s real, real cool.”
She said she was still having trouble hearing, but would likely never forget the screams from Pleasantville’s “Fiddler on the Roof” and Rye Neck’s “Cats.”
