"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
HAPPY BIRTHDAY #73...(same age as me)...i have seen Ms. Peters two times in my life...the first was way back in the early 1970's when she performed her cabaret act at the upstairs cabaret in Studio One in WEHO...she was fabulous in person...
Then i had to wait till 2018 to see her HELLO DOLLY which was the reason i went to see that musical during my last trip to NYC...she was fabulous again and got a well deserved standing ovation...
i have always loved Bernadette singing 'The Unexpected Song" and 'Tell Me On Monday", from the ALW musical SONG AND DANCE...two of my favorites that she has sung in her long career...
