Christine Baranski might reprise her role from Sweeney or Follies.
Please no more Baranski Carlotta.

Despite the miserable direction, she wasn't a bad Phyllis in the Royal Albert Hall concert. Here there's her Could I Leave You?

Posted: 4/22/20 at 3:32amActually, in hindsight I hope Bernadette does Clowns. We don’t have a good quality recording of her singing the full song recently (decades ago she sung it with Sondheim on piano, but I much prefer her Trevor nunn interpretation). Pllleaaase.
"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

Does anyone know: Will this only be available live, or can it be viewed later on the Broadway World Youtube channel?

Posted: 4/22/20 at 4:22pmDonna Murphy’s Blistering performance of “Could I Leave You” at his 80th birthday was one of the magical moments I’ve had seeing a performer connect with and deliver a song. Second only to her “Before the Parade Passes By” in Dolly. Jan Maxwell’s scorched earth interpretation was also powerful in a totally different way in the Follies broadway revival, but if she gets the chance to do it again, Murphy gives a masterclass while delivering it that every student of musical theatre should study and behold!

I think this has turned out to be even more star-filled than the incredible 80th gala.

Thanks for that clarification. The announcements were super-vague (maybe there were rights issues to clear up), so this is great to know.

With the amazing lineup of stars announced for the Met gala, I knew going it that it was going to be a lot of fun. What surprised me was how incredibly moving a lot of it was. To see these superb artists--literally the greatest opera stars of our era -- scattered all over the world singing from their living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms was such a poignant and powerful reminder of what extraordinary times we're living in. I teared up a number of times. Thats the arts, for you.

I was in tears throughout! Especially during the intermezzo of cavalleria rusticana and Rene’s Ave Maria from Otello. And of course Anna’s finale was just magic.

Broadcasting to my tv through the YouTube app on my phone.. seems to work best for me rather that using YouTube on roku. Plus I get to read all the constant comments on my phone from idiots clamoring for their favorite stars that haven't shown up yet :/

Wonder what the delay is? I surprised this couldn't get broadcasted on a TV station.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
