She alluded to something "exciting" happening in the fall regarding her returning to Broadway on Fox 5.
Anyone have any hints?

I broke the story in the BERNADETTE PETERS/SWEENEY TODD THREAD.

She'd be great as Cora but technically not a return to Broadway.
Was hoping LuPone would repeat her Cora, but Peters will be great.

You're correct ljay. And it isn't BROADWAY.
Maybe she's doing a Broadway run of her concert?

Posted: 7/12/09 at 7:10pmOr maybe we're gonna see another transfer. Bernadette's a safe name to put investor $$$ into.

"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: 7/12/09 at 7:36pmI could possibly see her replacing as Donna in Mamma Mia. Maybe she is going to be in one of those new shows opening.

Posted: 7/12/09 at 7:43pmIt's called sarcasm I could never see her take on any role in wicked. I'm hoping for the Hello Dolly Revival.

Don't you think we would have heard something by this point about some new show opening this fall that she could possibly be going into?
I mean "This Fall" is only a few weeks away. A big new show starring Bernadette Peters would already be on the radar, no?
#18re: So what show is Bernadette doing in the fall?
Posted: 7/12/09 at 8:13pmBobby, I'm glad someone else would want to see LuPone as Cora. I honestly thought of her before Bernadette, but really since I know Patti's done Encores and Bernadette hasn't.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I much prefer Peters in the role, though as I've said a hundred times before, Meryl would have been my top choice. If she did Central Park, why can't she do Encores!
So are Benanti and Pasquale rounding up the cast?

Bernadette, Benanti, Raul.

Posted: 7/12/09 at 8:22pmAhhh, I guess Pasquale was wishful thinking. Sounds good though.

I'm not so quick to believe they've got Benanti.
She is going be in a show in the fall and already has a second one lined up for the spring that she'll have to take a leave for if the first one sustains a run.
I don't see how she'd have time to do anything else, even something like an Encores! show that requires a minimum time commitment.

Interesting, somethingwicked. Then perhaps Raul isn't attached either.
Maybe Jenny Powers can play Nurse Apple, I love her rendition of "There Won't Be Trumpets."

Posted: 7/12/09 at 8:50pmI don't know very much about Jenny Powers, but I kind of love that people are tossing her name around for so many projects.
