Bernadette Peters in A Little Night Music- Who is with me?

Posted: 4/23/07 at 3:28am

I think Peters would be a sensational Desiree in ALNM.

I'm definitely with you even though I'd much prefer her in a show where she'll get to sing most of the songs. Something more like HELLO, DOLLY...or an original piece.

I can't agree on that one. Peters would have been a terrific Anne in the day (though I'm not sure she could have sung it), but she is not a Desiree.

And yes, Desiree was expressly written for an actress who sings a little. And I think the ones who have done it best (Glynis Johns, Jean Simmons, Juliet Stevenson, Dame Judi) have been in that category.

Oh I think Helen Mirren is too cold and icy for Desiree. I think Bernadette Peters would probably pull off A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC beautifully - and though I agree that it would be more fun to see her in something new - or a role that would show off her voice more - I definitely think she has the "light" comedy skills necessary.

As a matter of exercise, it would also have been fun to see Peters as Mrs. Lovett.

Oh, MB, I'd pay big money to see Peters as Mrs.Lovett, I can't imagine what a machiavellic riot she'd be in the role.

A role she should've played in the film version...not to start beating a dead horse or anything re: Bernadette Peters in A Little Night Music- Who is with me?
