*Wipe tear* nice. Looks like they'll have a a great knight :).

"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
I was there tonight (5th row center) and I can't even begin to tell you how extremely emotional EVERYONE on that stage was. SOOOO many tears (from the last few songs/scenes to curtain call), especially from the ensemble ladies and gents. Janet was a watery-mess.
And then when Darren took center to say "Goodbye" and he pulled Janet to the middle I said to my friend: "Omigawd he's gonna propose" and at that same moment (as the video shows) Karen Mason was tugging on Kate Shindle's arm at the same sort of *PING!* lightbulb moment. Everyone in the cast seemed to figure it out before Janet (and then her hands went to her face and AAAAAAAA the crowd went nuts!!!!)
What a fairy-tale ending to a (sadly) premature closing.
