Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 2/20/14 at 5:01pmThey started rehearsals (Cast mates of Heathers the Musical tweeted Emma and the cast were rehearsing in the same building, and Emma delivered them some extra pies). Anyone know who is playing this role yet?

Begger? Really?
Anyway, I have no idea. They don't even list that role on the official event page at NY Philharmonic's website: http://nyphil.org/ConcertsTickets/EventDetails?event=%7B8DF9F54E-DEAC-411D-8DD6-FD7199A91230%7D

Posted: 3/2/14 at 2:20pmThis is odd. I guess they don't think it's important enough to announce.
"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

She would be FIERCE!
But even if not so, incredibly psyched for this! Not least of which because Gilbert is conducting!

Bernadette! Bernadette! Bernadette!
She can wear a different color costume for each scene.

"She would be FIERCE! "
You know Audra has already done the Beggar Woman in Sweeney Todd... and yes, she was fierce. in the 2000 Philharmonic concert with George and Patti. I cannot find any video but there is audio of the concert on YouTube and you can always buy the live recording.
