Musical Master said: "I think Disney at one point during 2006-7considered an Aidafilm adaptation with Beyoncé as Aida and Christina Aguilera as Amneris.It would've been their first film adaptation of a Broadway musical but nothing has happened (I assume it was cancelled for whatever reason) and then years later,Into The Woods was the company's first (and certainly not their last) film adaptation of a Broadway musical."
It was supposed to be an animated movie and concept art of the characters exist online.

I've heard about that, but I think that was for an animated version developed before the musical came to be. What I'm talking about is the live action film version of the Broadway musical that was supposed to be in development after the musical closed.

"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
