As a comedian who's used to, like, punching the jokes, it's hard to teach yourself that that's not the strong choice in the sense that you have to really have to dial it back. Allison Tolman backchoicecomedian Change image and share on social
'The Secret Garden' was the first musical that I fell in love with when I was a kid. My mom took me to see it, and it was the first one that I owned the soundtrack to and listened to over and over again. Allison Tolman fallgardenkid share on social

I've always had a day job and never been just acting. Allison Tolman actdayhave Change image and share on social
The best thing I ever learned when I first started acting is that you audition, and then you forget about it when you walk out the door.
