A lot of people seem to like HAIR. What did you think of the show when it was re-mounted at the St. James last summer?
"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

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 1:20pmI'll never understand the love for THE NORMAL HEART revival, unless one prefers screaming to acting.

THe Lincoln Center CAROUSEL completely redefined that musical for the ages. I honestly don't see how it can ever be revived again; how would any revival compare? I also loved the Sandy Duncan PETER PAN.
For plays I would have to say OUR TOWN (though it was Off Bway).

I have very fond memories of the New York City Opera's revival of SONG OF NORWAY.
