In Australia for work and looking for shows to see this week (ask me about the Saturday Night Fever production I saw last weekend while trying to fight jet lag, oh god!) and saw this article:

Big plans for Tootsie in the 2020-21.

Posted: 6/5/19 at 9:13amI’m curious if they’ll adjust jokes for each theatre community it plays. Surely broadway jokes won’t get as big of a laugh in London or Australia
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I can't help but feel this is simply a marketing ploy to try and build hype + Tony voters. "Oh look we're a massive success - we're so popular we need to open productions in London, Australia and a US tour right now to help satisfy the demand". I'll believe all of this when I see it. Especially the Australian production.
"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
