Listening quickly to ‘some people’ it’s as if she could play Rose today and still impress with her vocals. Maybe there is an ever so subtle slight hint of aging - but it’s barely noticeable - Patti has remained remarkably lucky because by this age practically all of the famous divas have had degraded voices.
I think Patti could still have a big Broadway leading role in her.
"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

Listened to the entire album and her exaggerated Patti-isms are hilarious. She sounds like those Patti LuPone impersonators. They truly are spot on.
