Wow, jaw dropping. It’s strange to remember what creativity is again.
"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

This really made my day, and also made me a little sad in a way...

Kinda wish Heather Headley would’ve been included honoring her role in Aida. I realize you can’t include everybody and for the most part they got it right. I wish Patti would’ve been there for Anything Goes so Mandy could’ve been Evita and Bernadette could’ve had Sunday. Oh well.
