Posted: 11/2/13 at 4:29pmThe article reveals more of the plot - and it makes me more interested again.
"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

Posted: 11/2/13 at 5:00pmThe alternating between career life and family life sounds like countless Lifetime movies I've watched. Hope there's more to the plot than that.

Posted: 11/2/13 at 5:06pmI think the detail is that they would explore how her different choices (if) would affect different outcomes (then) by actually playing them out. I don't really watch lifetime movies but do they actually play out each alternative? I mean, the idea of someone having to chose between work and family is cliché but the execution of having two plotlines with both going on at the same time sounds interesting to me.
