Ariana DeBose<\/strong> <\/a>is ready to channel the drama from her viral BAFTAs monologue into art.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a perk of hosting, I get to see every show and I have to say that the work has been incredibly inspiring. So much so, that I\u2019ve been motivated to write my first musical,\u201d DeBose, 33, said during the 77th Annual Tony Awards<\/a> on Sunday, June 16. \u201cHere\u2019s the pitch, oh and thank you for clapping wasn\u2019t looking for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cHere\u2019s the pitch: It\u2019s three hours, no intermission and it\u2019s based on my BAFTA rap.\u201d<\/p>\n

After DeBose didn\u2019t receive an overwhelming level of applause, she simply shrugged it off.<\/p>\n
