    She said in another interview that the reason she was so loud was because earlier that night she was having trouble hearing other people and she wanted to be heard... I think ya nailed it AR! SHe is loud, fierce, and proud! Love it!

      I watched some of the musical's songs on UA-cam which led me to this and your concise appraisal. Her speech reinforces my initial rejection to the work as terribly overwrought. Thanks for the reinforcement of my suspicions. about the work.

    I remember first seeing this before knowing Alice n I was like "Wow, this lady is alittle cooky!" But now I am a huge fan of Alice's and she totally deserved it! They could nominate her again next year and she would win.

    I love this woman! So brilliantly talented, I wish I will have the privilege to see her perform someday... I've seen an off Broadway version of this show, and while still good, I can only dream of how the Broadway version was. It's definitely one of my favorites. Her speech was so inspirational and elegant, truly the best woman one in my opinion. Go Alice! :)

    It looks to me like she was a bit emotional at first. She just won a Tony!!! After she gets her emotions in check her voice level is calm and beautiful. She is an passionate and loving person who also happens to be extremely talented in many art forms. She even uses her Tony win to inspire others. Far. From. Crazy!

It wasnt because he had a problem with all the hollywook stars winning tonys its because he wasnt nominated for Million Dollar Quartet....
