What did Bernadette say in her speech when she won the Tony for Song and Dance? Does anyone have a copy of the speech? Thanks.

"Bernadette Peters for her role as Emma in Song & Dance:
"Thank you. Thank you very much. I . . . I'm overwhelmed. I appreciate this so much. I want to thank my mother for insisting I had talent and continuing with my lessons, and I want to thank my father and my sister and my brother for their love and support. And I have to thank a person for whom I wouldn't be standing here today--my manager and dear, dear friend, Tom Hammond. And I have more . . . I want to thank my acting teacher, David Legrand, and my singing teacher, Adrienne Angel, because I couldn't have sung eight shows a week, and I can't sing eight shows a week without her . . . and the dancers in the show are so talented and so committed and so uplifting. They uplift the show, and they uplift me every night. I want to thank my standby, Maureen Moore, and Richard Maltby. This show wouldn't have happened on this side of the Atlantic without Richard Maltby, our director. And Don Black who I adore, rewrote the lyrics with Richard. And Andrew Lloyd Webber for his gorgeous music. And Bernie Jacobs and Gerry Schoenfeld, my second great experience with them. And Cameron Mackintosh and the Really Useful Co. and FWM Producing Group, and . . . that's it . . .I'm out of cards. I want to thank the audience because they're so warm, and thank you for coming, the audience to the show, and thank you for this, very, very much." "

ANNOYINGNESS! HA!
