Wow, being a Sondheim fan is the gift that keeps on giving. Amazing to have some Katrina Lenk material. I suppose Sondheim could see something in her and from her performance in Company and The Band's Visit so could I!
"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

Just listened to parts of it and really enjoyed what I have heard so far. So much to listen to today but this is my favorite so far.
Just give the world Love. - S. Wonder

So many goodies in this album. I don't know if JRB did the arrangement himself on Franklin Shepard Inc., but this version is so fresh and jazzy, I love it.

JRB did the arrangement for "Franklin Shepard, Inc." In fact, he did almost all the arrangements on this album. The album credits read: "Orchestrations by Jason Robert Brown except "I Love Betsy" by Don Sebesky and "Move On" by Michael Starobin and Jason Robert Brown
