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

The random handler girl who tried to drag Bette back from Laurie.

Rachel is such a star and is probably the best dressed in that room.

It would have been nice to have something with the full cast...but I saw "Hello Dolly" last week and thought "Penny In My Pocket" was the best thing about the production. (Bette Midler simply doesn't deserve the Tony that Scott Rudin purchased for her.)

Wife though she was best on red carpet, so happy she won :)

God, only one WOC in the entire Rockettes performance? How horribly disappointing.

Awful that they did not have a number with Bette singing, I was hoping for her to be wheeled in during the opening. Nope. I was hoping they would surprise everyone by having DHP followed up with Before the Parade Passes By.
I love Ms Midler, but she, along with her producer Scott Rudin, sucks for not agreeing to perform. I hope she loses the award to someone who is brave enough to actually play to the fans and sing during the awards ceremony. Embarassing for them all, the Tony committee, Ms Midler, producers of Hello, Dolly! You might as well call it Hell NO, Dolly!

I would have liked more from Cynthia and Leslie. Great idea to pair them up though.

Damn Leslie Odom Jr. slayed that number. Get this man back on Broadway!

I'm trying to find something online but i still haven't found anything as to why Midler didn't perform. And she got there right after DHP's performance I mean what the hell????

Poor DHP, that was terrible. And I guess because ANASTASIA didn't perform, they filled them in with the Rockettes? Disappointing.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Not really..the score of DOLLY is so well known even minor songs like "Elegance" and "It Only takes a Moment" would have seemed old hat. Here was a chance for a song that only a few people know to get some exposure.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
