Omg I'm getting secondhand embarrassment for DHP right now.

Fingers and toes crossed. I would cry.

Some cut songs really should stay cut - this is cringey.

She totally is. But just to present

I'm getting a window tattoo for DEH, and I didn't even enjoy Comet. If I can admit GC was robbed for Orchestrations, anyone can.
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, all you want is for somebody to find you.

God, I hope this song is ALSO cut when I see this in September. Boring. Could have had featured sooo many other cast members with other songs.

I feel embarrassed for DHP that he has to do this every night...

Oh, Hello Dolly baby....oy vey. What a waste of both a segment and David!

Bette and Hello Dolly are just too smug and condescending for my liking

Getting texts from non-theatre friends watching the Tonys who are beyond confused why Bette wouldn't be performing for Hello, Dolly!. I'm with 'em. Poor DHP.

Absolutely

What a waste for Hello Dolly. Then again, they don't need the PR.

The song works fine in context - it's a kind of momentary detour while people take their seats and get ready for the show to start. To actually put a showcase on it at the Tony Awards was always incredibly misguided.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I would cut this moment the most embarrassing on Tony history. This is silly, ridiculous and offernsive to everyone. Poor DPH.

That waste of two minutes could have been Christy doing Journey to the Past ??

Well Bette's intro was very grand diva-ish and not the usual warm, funny self-deprecating Bette.

Could seriously be one of the most boring Tony performances of all time.

I put my TV on mute during DHP and listened to Elegance on my computer.

I thought Penny performance was actually very good. He's a great actor. I just wish Hello, Dolly! title number has followed right after.
Caption: Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

Why didn't Bette Midler perform? Is there a problem with her or something...?
