This week on Odd Woman Out, Tutz welcomes back Broadway powerhouse Hannah Cruz for a special Tony nominee edition of the podcast — and yes, dreams are very much coming true.

Fresh off her Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Svetlana in Chess, Hannah stops by to talk all things Tony season, stepping into one of musical theatre's most iconic roles, and what it's like when the thing you've worked your entire life for suddenly becomes reality.

Recorded at the Welcome to Times Square Studio, this episode is funny, heartfelt, chaotic in the best way, and a little bit unhinged — especially when we discover that Hannah's cat may actually be giving full method-acting-Svetlana energy at home.

We get into what it feels like to navigate Tony season as an "odd woman out," the pressure and excitement of carrying a beloved character, and the surreal experience of seeing years of hard work culminate in a Tony nomination.

We talk:

• Receiving her first Tony Award nomination for Chess

• Bringing Svetlana to life and preparing for the role

• The reality of navigating Tony season

• What it feels like when lifelong dreams start coming true

• Finding confidence while feeling like the odd woman out

• The emotional journey behind this career milestone

• Why Hannah's cat may secretly be preparing for a role in Chess
