She WAS a great Desiree in the end!

And a terrific Dolly as well. I did not like her Sally in Follies, but those two were perfect.

I was fortunate enough to see her in both "Music" and "Dolly". Experiences I shall never forget.
Nobody in April, 2007 had the foresight to see Catherine Zeta Jones in "A Little Night Music" ? They were thinking Peters, Mirren, even Brooke Shileds - but not CZJ ? LOL!

Peters was superb. She brought something akin to the irresolution of grief to her regret about Fredrick.

When Peters sang SITC at the performance I attended, I believe she had the whole audience in tears when she was done - including me. She sang it with such emotion. I only wish I had the chance to see Jean Simmons in the role. Love her cast recording!

This is reminding me how much we need A Little Night Music revival.

I will forever mourn the Natasha Richardson/Vanessa Redgrave production that could have been.

I think it’s the single greatest performance of a song I’ve ever seen on stage (and I also just saw Judi Dench do it a couple months ago in London!). Feels like one of those special “you had to be there” moments, especially that no recording was made.

She was amazing! Everything about her performance worked so much better than CZJ. When she sang Send in the Clowns, the audience was so mesmerized, that you could hear a pin drop. One of her best performances. I wish it was recorded. I did hear her sing it again at a concert at Symphony Hall in Boston a few years ago.

The whole production woke up around Peters and Stritch when they joined the cast. It helped that they apparently picked up the tempo on several songs and seemed to lean more fully into the comedic side of the piece. The Chekhovian approach worked well in London, but it felt a little dour on Broadway with CZJ and Lansbury (and I say that as someone who really enjoyed CZJ’s performance and found the whole production hypnotically beautiful).

Bernadette's Desiree was wonderful.
"And THIS is MY daughter" was the best laugh of the night.
