This month, January 20 to be exact, marks Bernadette Peters' return to Broadway as she begins performances in the Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly! Anyone plan on attending her first performance or another one of hers in the coming months?

Looking forward to attending her “opening night” performance on 2/22!

Another thread on this? Why not use the existing one?

Whoever refers to Bernadette Peters as "Bernie" should not be allowed to buy a ticket to see her.

Let's just fast forward to the endless stream of second-rate actresses and hasbeens making their exciting Dolly! debuts!

I am so not looking forward to Bernadette sobbing and croaking her way through Hello Dolly! She has a pretty fossilized act by now and it almost always involves sobbing her way through a Sondheim torch song. It's going to be Sunday in the Park with Dolly.

I can't wait to see her...dont need to discuss it this far in advance, but I'm very excited.

I always laugh when people act like Peters won't be able to sing the role. Are we going to act like Carol Channing wasn't a horrible singer? Also, it's not like Midler's voice is in great shape. The role requires a comedienne, which has always been what Bernadette does best (aside from shedding a few tears, which should be touching during Parade). I saw her live a couple of months ago and her voice is in great shape. She'll be great, and it's always great to see such a legend, especially in such a role as Dolly Levi.

Btw, Bernadette HATES being called Bernie.

I am in the planning stages right now to be in NYC Jan 20 - 22, and was wondering what to see on Sunday afternoon. Is she doing a Sunday matinee that day?

She does not have an alternate.

I'm sorry you are being forced to see her. Must be tough.
