Daniel J. Watts received his first Tony nomination for playing Ike Turner in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, a role he was doing up until the Broadway shutdown. Now, the actor is sharing his story of coping through the pandemic. During a TEDxBroadway event, the actor took to the stage, this time with some paint.
