The greatest performance I've seen on the Tonys (seen most of them from the last 30 years). It really takes something to make all of Radio City Music Hall stand when you've only been on stage for 3 and a half minutes (the song was cut down for the telecast).

Am I the only person under 18 who thinks Bernadette Peters is hot?

I am 18 and think she is extremely hot. Listening to her right now, too. And by the way I think that Tony Performance shows why she is a star. Flawless. Better than the wailing of Indina Menzel at the 2004 Tonys

I'm a huge idina fan and i believe that nerves ruined her tpony preformance, she screamed and shaked...but i love her anyway!

I am just saying that is the difference between the two of them.

Peters has about 100 years more experience than Idina did - give the relatively new girl a break.

Oh, Bernie. And those dogs.
I still say she did Sondheim to get those parts.

I don't think a female sleeping with Sondheim would get her the part.

Wasn't BP a last minute replacement for Into The Woods?

You missed it? Too bad, as it may have been the most electrifiying Tonys performance I've ever seen. Someone over at bernadette-peters.com (unofficial site) was nice enough to create an mp3 of the performance. Beggars can't be choosers, but showing a moment of poor judgment, this gentleman cut the mp3 off almost instantly so you hear no more than 1 or 2 secs. of the crowds's reaction. Damn shame, because that crowd was on its feet and cheering loudly for quite a while. That being said, it's better than not having any recording. I've linked the mp3 as a YouSendIt file. Just click on the link and follow the instructions to download. Hopefully another kind soul on here will upload his/her video of the performance.
Oh, by the way, baddadnpa, is that you in your avatar? If so, my...carburetor needs fixin'.

I thought that Bernadette was Trying. Very. Very. Hard. And. Putting. A. LOT. Of. Effort. Into. It.

That clip sounds excellent and I recall her performance being wonderful. If anyone has a video clip, please post!

That performance really was truly astonishing and it was all the more pleasing as there had been such huge amounts of negativity about her Rose beforehand. I'm just sorry she lost out on the Tony.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

First of all, Bernadette was not a last minute "replacement." When Betty Buckley was... not up to the task, Bernadette helped her friend Sondheim out by coming in to save the show. You'd think the role was written for her, the way she made it all come together on stage.
Now, about the performance on the Tony's. I personally wasn't so crazy about it, as it in no way reflected how brilliant Bernadette was on stage in the role. Rose's Turn simply can't be truncated an retain its intense power. We need time to see Rose slowly drive herself over the edge. I really liked Melissa Winnowhateverhernameis in Hairspray, but people were voting against Bernadette at the Tonys for ridiculous reasons. I'm all for a pubic execution of that Reidel guy from the Post...

To Master's point, I'm not certain that there has been any Broadway or film Rose post-Merman that has not shown signs of strain or considerable effort. The combination of belting vocals and brash vulgarity that is the character came naturally to Merman. It fit her like a glove. Every one of the post-Merman Roses has a debit or two against them. Some feel Lansbury was excellent at the vocals and playing the madness, but somewhat too patrician in her persona. Tyne Daly was not a natural born singer, and had to work extra-hard to act her way through the songs. Roz Russell of course, was dubbed. Bette Midler, though she seems just right on paper, strikes me as a bit too much in the TV movie. Linda Lavin, another one who should have been perfect, made Rose too unlikable. If Bernadette had to work hard to fight off her demure, doll-like image, I don't think she's unique in showing the effort behind her performance.

What I want to know is why she seems to be on every Tony Awards ceremony? Why can't we see some other worthy singer/actresses? Does she have photos or something?
