Bernadette May Extend to September

Posted: 1/14/04 at 2:17pm

Looks like Bernadette Peters was asked to extend her contract till September! I am so thrilled!! She just needed to warm up to the part that's all! I hope she sticks around. No word on whether Tammy Blanchard will do the same. Here's hoping!

She will extend. This is the role of a lifetime for her so I don't see her walking out anytime soon. And I bet they'll compensate her for staying with the show quite well, I'm sure. As for Tammy, I hope she extends as well.

Gee.. How long do you think it will take her to warm up to the part? She is just horrible in it. A travesty if you ask me. And I was so looking forward to see if they came up with a good replacement.

Nothing, at least to my knowledge, has been said about Ms. Blanchard. Her contract is probably up in March just as everyone else's is. I'd like to see her stay, and I don't know of any other upcoming jobs for Tammy that would require her not to leave. Basically, if I was her, I'd stay 'til it closes.

Oh, come on. Travesty? Please stop dissing Bernadette Peters like this. She IS GREAT with the role. Obviously since they asked her to extend. You probably saw her on a bad day, which I'm sure all actors go through.
Your hatred for Bernadette Peters is very clear...I wonder why?

Bernadette is awesome in the part - THE definitive Rose. Stephen Sondheim has stated that she is the best Rose he has ever seen.

Anyone know what Arthur Laurents' opinion is on Peters' interpretation of the role? I know in an old interview I read a few months back he said that Tyne Daly was the best, in his eyes. He stated that Ethel Merman was not an actress, and that Angela Lansbury was only proficient. This article was published before the show started previews in late March last year, so I wonder what he thinks of Bernadette?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I SAID...I don't want to hear any bad talk about Bernadette.
She has nothing to prove to anyone. She is awesome in Gypsy and you'll come to see she'll extend her contract and end the show with a BANG. No early closings for this one...

I'm saying this seriously, and not in offense to Bernadette, but I really hope she doesn't hurt herself. Her voice already seems pretty damaged, and on the CD you can hear her gasping for air, and I doubt it's a character thing. She's not in the same conditions she was a few years ago, and I hope she stays healthy throughout however long she stays.
