  1. Rick, I can’t tell you how happy I was when NY1 announced the first nomination of “best play”…but then to follow..1,2,3,4,…..for a total of nine…the best of any play. I’ve seen PATSC twice and those nom’s are well-deserved.

    All of us love you, Rick, and are so happy for you and the creative team and the cast. The pundits did predict a good day for you, PATSC, Christian, Roger and Alex, but Celia (Molly) was a wonderful surprise.

    Who says nice guys finish last????

  2. Those who say, ‘nice guys finish last’ don’t know where the finish line is. Rick, I’d say you’re just getting started and what a start it’s been – over the last many years! Like Howard said, we all love you and are so happy for everyone involved. It’s all about family … this time the “Peter and the Starcatcher” family!

  4. Congratulations on all the Tony nominations, Rick. My wife and I saw the show a few weeks back (the same evening Susie and Dale attended) and we thoroughly enjoyed the production! Both of us felt it was clever, funny and very creative! We have been recommending it to friends and family alike. Best of luck on Tony night and hoping it enjoys an extended run on Broadway!

  5. Rick Elice is so hot these days, I hear both President Obama and Mitt Romney have been courting him to be their VP running mate. ;-)
