It's out in the theatre in a few days. It's clearly not going to match LuPone's vocal performance. However, it looks like she will take it in interesting places. Can't say I've heard a "Rose's Turn" quite like that one. It's almost the antithesis of Bernadette's performance.
"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 sounds like a good traditional Rose. I, for one, am glad she doesn't have the vocals of LuPone. There are times when I feel as if LuPone is screaming the score, and her diction is frequently lacking; however, she was quite fiery in the role.

Are we not allowed to buy this album in the US?
"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."

I don't like her voice. And I wish the cd cover had her on it... like most Gypsy cast recordings.

I saw Gypsy last week. Her performance is quite stunning - certainly one of the best performances I have seen in about 40 years of theatre going.
