I think a lot of people think that way right now. And she deserves it.

4 Tony Awards tonight for Dolly, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that everyone from the production will sleep easy tonight. So much for that whole backlash thing, eh?

Bette is obnoxious

Disrespectful to talk for so long! You're not more important than any other winner :/

Um, entitled much? I'm glad for her, but why does she think she should go on and on and on when everyone else respected the time constraints?

"Turn that crap off" is the quote of 2017.

Congrats to her and Ben!

That's literally been Bette's gimmick since the 70's.....

UGH.

Never realized how truly pretentious Bette Middler is until right now. Do you really think you deserve more than the 90 seconds the rest of the winners get?

No, that would be you.

Best line ever of the awards was Bette's "shut that crap off."  

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:05pm

Ugh. Bette, some of us have to get up early for work tomorrow.

A bit obnoxious, if Bette wanted to sell the show she should have preformed a number instead of lecturing us about how great it is!

Patti also yelled at the music in 2008 and that was a better speech, lol. 

[Dancingthrulife2]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:06pm

Bette's calling everyone to see it. If everyone can afford a ticket...

[BroadwayConcierge]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:06pm

Alright, y'all... big one's coming up.

[Robbie2]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:06pm

I still can't believe all the disdain for Bette ...she WON as she should!

[Valentina3]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:06pm

Bette Midler become the president tonight, y'all.

[Zamedy154]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:06pm

Lighten up. That was pure Bette. Patti did a similar thing when she won for GYPSY.

 

[wonkit]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 11:07pm

The disdain is for the pathetic acceptance speech.
