"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

I'm excited for the musical but beyond his tweets his likes were leaning very MAGA.

That's not at all what I said? I'm just genuinely surprised that people who were all up in the arms about #MeToo and "Believe Women" (anonymous people on this board, as well as industry people in public forums) are wanting to work with him without any introspection.

One of smoothest advance ticket sales in a long time. Purchased one of the $50 A-Tix Memberships so I could buy today and with it offering 20% off on my actual ticket, the final total turned out to be about the same or a little less as a typical Broadway ticket nowadays.

Same! I was thrilled and a little shocked at how easy it was! Got two late preview tickets in the second row (which viewfrommyseat tells me is totally fine there) for $88 each, plus the $50 so only lost $6 for the "presale"...
I haven't been this excited for a new musical in a long time. Nobody composes on Guettel's level (although I feel a little icky about his five-year-old tweet. But that's five years ago, I guess... and maybe Kelli wouldn't work with him if... I don't know).

That's a random day in June (wouldn't let me text and photo at once). Grey's unavailable. (sometimes the image won't load; click "reply" and then scroll to see it there, no clue why that works).

Yeah, it got very slow as soon as it turned 12pm. My first attempt failed, but I refreshed the seating chart and luckily 4 are still available. I grabbed one, added to cart, and it took about half a minute to get to the shopping cart page. Once I was there, I knew I was safe.
It took me a few minutes to check out because the final payment page was buggy, but it did eventually go through.
I was lucky to grab a $25 seat when I refreshed my preferred date right at noon, and by the time I checked out at 12:03 it looks like most were gone. (I wasn't planning to buy any more tickets, but checked a few other dates out of curiosity.)
