Woah, she's great. Maybe she can play Sally in the Follies movie.

She had a starring musical role on Broadway!
"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

Whoa! So you need to check out two things.
1) her Tony nominated performance in "The Wild Party" (broadway, not off broadway)
2) the movie "Connie & Carla"

Wow, some of you guys must be really young if you didn’t know Toni Collette can sing.
She starred on Broadway in “The Wild Party”with Mandy Pitnkin, Eartha Kitt, Tonya Pinkins and Norm Lewis back in 1999.
Damn, I’m dating myself… (wink)

Sigh. We really must get her back on Bway in a musical. Hopefully one day.
Also a shame she hasn't had a bigger box office draw and couldn't be cast in the many musicals made these past 20 years.

She also sang in the (not so great) Cosi. Would love a Next to Normal big-screen adaptation starring Toni one day.

She truly is such an underrated actor and hopefully enough time has passed from working with Mandy Patinkin that she will eventually come back to Broadway in a musical.
And dammit Renee Zellweger on stealing her Star (I kid I kid)!! but imagine what could have been if she hadn’t turned down the role of Bridget Jones. She then would have been Roxy Hart in Chicago. Toni supposedly blew Rob Marshal and co. away and gave an amazing audition but the powers that be decided she wasn’t a big enough name and chose to cast Renee coming off the box office success of Bridget Jones’ Diary and subsequent Oscar nomination. You’d think her Oscar nomination for Sixth Sense should have propelled her to becoming an A-List talent, but I digress… She even was up for Mrs. Lovett in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, but BO draw wasn’t the reason she didn’t get it as Sondheim himself approved of Bonham Carter from her twelve audition tapes (to disprove any nepotism).

I think Toni Collette as Sally
Gwyneth Paltrow as Phyllis
that could be good.
I know people can roll their eyes at Gwyneth but....she would actually be really right for this part.
