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

Bette? Bette? BETTE?

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.

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

[BroadwayConcierge]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:32pm

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.

Tony Award winner Laurie Metcalf!

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.

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

[disneybroadwayfan22]

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

[poisonivy2]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:34pm

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

[jakebloke]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:34pm

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.

[Valentina3]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:35pm

I thought Penny performance was actually very good. He's a great actor. I just wish Hello, Dolly! title number has followed right after.

[ViniFromBrazil]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:36pm

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