Does anyone know if there are any upcoming dates in September/October where Bernadette might be scheduled to be out of A Little Night Music? I'm getting tickets for my birthday and want to make sure that I see her.

Also, (I know that there's another thread about this, but I'll ask anyway) if I'm planning to rush on a Friday, about what time would you suggest getting to the box office to make sure I get seats?

Thanks so much!

As far as I know, she does not have any scheduled vacation days before her contract runs out in November. I saw the show twice this weekend and she was fantastic both times (and in great shape vocally).

I rushed the Sunday evening performance (got a balcony seat at about 2 PM) but I know they have been giving out singles in the orchestra earlier in the day. I'd advise getting there an hour or so early on a Friday if you really want a great seat, but it seems they've been able to accommodate almost everyone somehow. The sightlines in the Walter Kerr are quite good even in the balcony, despite the extreme height.

Peters rarely misses performances. She was known to go on in GYPSY when she barely had a voice. I think she would have to be incredibly ill for her to miss a performance in NIGHT MUSIC, particularly as its not a vocally demanding performnace
