I've read in this weekend's Parade mag that she has talked to producers and she's thinking about making a return sometime next year. I know her tour probably finishes some time next summer.
What do you think as to what kinds of musicals she's in talks about doing?

Posted: 8/20/05 at 5:36pmShe's gonna be Grizabella in a revival of CATS.

Posted: 8/20/05 at 5:36pmI've heard strong rumors she is interested in "FIrst Wives Club".

Posted: 8/20/05 at 5:39pmI would actually love to see a revival of COMPANY...with Bernadette Peters.

Posted: 8/20/05 at 5:41pmThat bad Company revival several years ago probably put a stop to that. Bernadette as Joanne I assume? It's a nice thought, but I don't think Bernie would take that role.

Posted: 8/20/05 at 5:42pmI think she would. She'd get to do another Sondheim.

I'd love her to do the A Little Night Music review instead of Close.
And just in theory, do you you think she could do Lovett in Sweeney?

Posted: 8/20/05 at 5:59pmI actually was expecting her to be Lovett instead of LuPone. Peters should be in Follies or Company, but who knows if she would take either. I would love to see her in First Wives Club.

hmmm
I dunno about Lovett...but then again, she can do anything, plus she knocked all the doubters on their asses with Gypsy.
I still say she'd be a magnificent Dolly and there has been talk that a revival is due in a few years.
but hey, she's my all-time fav, so whatever she does is fine with me.

I would have been ecstatic if they had cast Bernadette as Mrs. Lovett. It would have meant I could cross off one category on my Tony Awards list because she'd be so genius they'd just hand her the trophy.
I loves me some Bernadette.

I'd love to see her in Mrs Lovett! But I'll buy tix to anything she's in...and see it more than once

Although Sondheim has said that Bernadette does the best rendition of "Send in the Clowns" (and I agree) there is no reason for her to play Desiree. It was written for Glynis who couldn't hold the notes and the character sings 1 and a half songs (Clowns & Glamorous Life). With a voice like hers, why should she do it? Although it might be a good acting challenge and of course she would be brilliant in it.
And her as Mrs. Lovitt..would be a DREAM and I've actually talked to her about it.

I hope she indeed comes back.
But I am glad Patti is going to be Lovett, because now I can finally see her live!

Chip - is your Avatar from the movie about the next Bobby Fisher that came out years ago? It looks familiar, but I just cannot place it.

Hopefully, she can play Mrs. Lovett when Patti LuPone leaves the show (supposing Sweeney Todd runs that long).
Wouldn't it be great if this was the first Sondheim show to run longer than 1,000 performances?
