Posted: 10/1/24 at 3:57amThere were rumours online years ago that Scott Rudin was borderline abusive to Donna Murphy. On instagram she just described some of the experience as ‘extremely difficult and painful for me’ - but that Gavin was always a ‘beacon of light’ for her during it.
I wonder if this is confirmation about how she was treated. It does make me sad that she wasn’t able to enjoy herself in that magnificent production, role and cast as she should.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
