"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: 6/13/11 at 12:22amSaw it for the third time this past Wednesday. Barkin EARNED that award! As did Hickey. Montello did pull off a Tour de force performance (which developed so much since I saw it in early previews). That show never ceases to amaze me on how it can tear you apart yet at the same time be so heart achingly lovely and hopeful.

Posted: 6/13/11 at 8:20amsurely a few week extension is possible? I say this selfishly as I am in the city the following weekend after it is expected to close. fingers crossed here. If it does extend, it would announce in the next 48 hours to build off momentum.

Is anyone going to be interested in seeing this production without Mantello, Hickey, Barkin, or Parsons?
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Posted: 6/13/11 at 8:31amRed didn't extend last year because they knew the show worked so well with the 2 actors, they didn't want to risk it and re-cast. Do you think the same issue is being debated now?
