Danai - who scored a nod for best play - was joined at The Lambs Club by her Eclipsed actress Saycon Sengbloh, who is up for featured role in the Liberian-set drama.

Eclipsed - which scored four other nods - made history as the first play on Broadway to be written, directed, and performed entirely by women.

The sold out, 17-week run concludes June 19 at the Golden Theatre, and the actual Tony Awards ceremony airs June 12 on CBS.

Gurira began her Tuesday early discussing the Broadway smash on the Fox 5 talk show Good Day New York.

'I'm just celebrating!' the Familiar writer gushed.

'You know, it's actually really amazing. This play has been such an amazing, tremendous journey for me. And for it to get to this place, it's just amazing to me. I'm just enjoying everything!'

For the local morning programme, Danai donned a red short-sleeved tea-length dress and silver stilettos. 

The quadrilingual NYU grad also discussed The Walking Dead's maddening sixth season finale cliffhanger involving the nefarious Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Obsessed fans have narrowed the possible victim of Negan's barb wire-strapped bat Lucille down to Glenn (Steven Yeun), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), and Gurira's own katana-wielding warrior Michonne.

'No I can't say anything!' Danai teased.

'It's shooting. Well, listen, that could mean anything. This is The Walking Dead. We do anything and everything and we consistently surprise you. So don't even try to figure it out!'

Frustratingly, fans won't find out who actually died until the seventh season of the AMC hit series premieres October 9.
