"Soon", particularly in the SWEENEY case, completely misrepresents what she actually said.
Thankfully, because it's Bernadette's role.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Yes to Tam, no to Sierra. He's a real talent, beautiful voice. I'm not too keen on his Javert though..
Bernadette as Mrs Lovett, I'd give anything to see that!

Posted: 8/9/13 at 7:40pmWhen I saw the byline, I immediately thought of Jason Tam.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 8/9/13 at 11:39pmSierra Boggess would be an interesting Miss Lovett in a few years. I would love to see her take on a darker role. My first choices for Miss Lovett though are Catherine Zeta Jones and Katie Finneran.

Posted: 8/10/13 at 1:10amAt the ripe old age of 31 Sierra has more than just a few years before she's ready to play Mrs. Lovett. Heck, at this point she still has a few years left where she could still play Johanna.
