Bernadette Peter's Changing GYPSY Past, What Gives?

Unless I am mistaken, I believe that for the past several years in Bernadette's concerts she has been saying that her bio says that she played Dainty June in the first or second national tour of GYPSY and that "it's a lie." The part was actually played by "Suzy" and we should tell Suzy that Bernadette owes her an apology, etc...cause Bernadette's mother put it in Bernadette's bio that she played Dainty June, instead of one of the Hollywood Blondes, cause she thought it would help her career, etc. etc.

those of us who have seen her concerts and heard her live cd have heard her tell this story....

and now...

on the tony awards,,,unless i have lost my mind:

Bernadette said that she played Dainty June in the national tour of GYPSY!!!

so which is true? was the first "concert" story simply charming made up fodder and what Bernadette said on the Tony's the truth, or vice versa???

Can anyone clear this up for me???

thanks much:)

If I remember correctly ...

Bernadette was a Hollywood Blonde, and an understudy for Dainty June. I think she did go on as June, so I guess saying she played the role is technically accurate. I think Bernadette's mom just eliminated the fact that Bernadette was the June u/s.

I believe she said..."i was in the 2nd national company." I don't remember her mentioning which role she played. But like I said, I'd have to watch again to be sure.

I'm postive she says she was in the 2nd national company. That I do know and am sure of/.

hmmm, confusing with what she said on the tony awards..i believe she said:

i was dainty june in the first national company

right?

oh well:)
