Hey Tony Committee, give me a call. I have something I want you to kiss!

The Tony Nominating Committee may not love Priscilla but the crowds sure do!!

I was upset that we weren't nominated for The Tony but once you lose the Oscar a couple of times -- you're prepared. YEA, PRISCILLA!
BetteMidler
You know how they always say, "it was a pleasure just to be nominated"? We won't be saying that. WE LOVE PRISCILLA!
