"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
Total vanity project for Bernadette. Cannot wait to see it.
"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)

A movie directed by a woman, written by two women, starring Bernadette P and Peter Freidman, two of my favorite actors? I'll be there. I guess I have different taste than you fans of Step Up 3D or whatever.
Was Step Up 3D the one about the girl whose Mom wanted her to be a break dancer because she never got the chance to be one so she spends all her time entering her daughter in street competitions?
I do not know, but as I mentioned, I didn't even see it in 1D. It was reminiscent of previously existing movies involving dancing and a lot of people thought it was amazing.
When are they going to stop trying to pass of Bernadette as much younger than she actually is?

I love how we're all bashing a movie we haven't even seen. From the synopsis i've read it didn't seem to have to much in common with Gypsy. The only common thing was it was about a mother and daughter relationship. The mother supposedly using singing as a coping mechanism. I thought Bernadette looked very young in the trailer, so i don't see the complaints.
It's called "COMING UP ROSES" and it suggests in the trailer that the mother is 'measuring up' her daughter to be a stripper. Sounds a lot like GYPSY to me.
But I can't wait.
