Bernadette Peters in Concert

Hate to burst your bubble but she's been singing Fever since last spring. Her line about it being her first time, so please be gentle is her normal way of setting up the song and her way of being funny and setting up the sexual tension of the song. I agree she does an amazing rendition of it. Glad you enjoyed the concert.

Well actually she's been singing Fever in this entire concert tour which began last spring.

I was there too!!!! So many lehigh valley people!

I bawled my eyes out when she came on stage. She looked stunning. Unexepected Song always makes me teary.

I was there in my pretty black dress. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time.

Well...I sucked up the $100 ticket price and went to the show.....and you're right...it was great! I love her singing Sondheim! I still don't know how she got through "No One Is Alone" and "Not a Day Goes By" and "Time Heals" without breaking into tears! (I know I did!) Wonderful concert!

I love Unexpected Song

Unexpected Song is one of my all time favorites.

She was commenting a bit. This is the first time I've seen her in concert so I have nothing to compare her to, but she commented after most of the songs she sang.

I went to her concert last week. The first one after her husband's death and she did definitely make comments between songs. She can't just finish one song and then start singing another. She has to set them up some how and at least be somewhat entertaining. I think what you probably heard about that concert was that she didn't talk as much as usual in between songs and just tappered some of her commentary. And she was also kind of disconnected from the audience during the more emotional songs. All in all, it was still a great concert and very professionally done. It just wasn't quite a usual Bernadette concert that has lots of jokes, Bernadette having a wonderful time and really sharing the experience with her audience. But that was her first concert back. Hopefully tonight she was able to get a little more of her sparkle back and will continue to get back to her life.

Yeah, she did that in her Carnegie Hall concert and it's also in her filmed performance in London. I think it's so funny the way she says it "This song is from a show that I was actually in and I sang this actual song in the show." I love this woman, wish I could see her concert. Her "Rose's Turn" is so powerful, I wish they released an album or another DVD of this tour or she should come to FL!

I'm curious, did she mention her late husband at all?

I adored her singing Fever. And I adored her dress. She is quite possible the cutest woman alive. I loved her segway into Fever. She's close to sixty and still has it!

Yes she did. At the beginning of the concert. That was the only time I believe.

I know, it is hard to believe she wasn't "13, 19 years ago"

After her first song she said "you know there's been a great tragedy..." and that she came for two reason...one being she already said she would and didn't want to disappoint...the other was that she made a commitment to her husband...to which she received a thunderous applause.
