Posted: 6/23/10 at 6:53pmHave they made it yet? I haven't seen anything, and it's not on their site.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:32pmIs Stretch blurry or have I been masturbating too much?

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:33pmThey both look blurry, I don't like it. I can't wait for for the shots in costume.

That's hideous.
Stritch looks like Kathleen Chalfant there.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:39pmThey aren't airbrushed. Their photos have been run through a sketching program.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:42pmI can't believe it: Bernadette Peters as a replacement.
#13Peters/Stritch ALNM ad?
Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:43pmIt's another "favor" she's doing for Sondheim. I wouldn't be surprised if in return she gets to do Follies at the Kennedy Center.
#14Peters/Stritch ALNM ad?
Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:45pmPlus it's an incredible role, and probably her last chance to do it. Might as well!

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:49pmI think my favorite part is that Bernadette looks like she probably has jeans on and Elaine looks like she's wearing something that's looks like it's part of a hideous dress she's about to wear to a ball or something.

I thought Bernadette approached Sondheim (i.e. she wasn't asked to do it, was she? – so is it really a 'favour'?)
"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

And not only a replacement but replacing Catherinze Zeta-Jones...of all people. Sondheim owes her BIG TIME!

He approached her.
Ms. Peters said by telephone that Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the music and lyrics for “Night Music,” proposed the idea to her this spring and urged the producers of the revival to cast her. “I was talking to him about something else, and all of a sudden he said, ‘I think you’d be great for Desiree,’ ”

Catherine Zeta Jones has an Oscar that Bernadette doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I like both actresses - and I hate A Little Night Music, actually - but I can't figure out if Marquise is kidding or not.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:54pmI have no doubt she will do the role justice. Too bad she wasn't the first choice when this production was being put together.

Catherine Zeta-jones was the absolute right and best choice to open the revival. They needed a name actress, and they had trouble getting one to commit to a 6 month contract. CZJ was a box office smash, and won 3 awards for the performance, including the Tony. I love Peters and Stritch, but CZJ and Lansbury were the better choices to open the revival.

But it's not unprecedented for a star to replace a star. And people have been making a big deal out of it, so it's not like it's something to bring her shame.
But no, she really shouldn't have been the first choice. And actually no one has seen her in the role, so this one might be as polarizing as her Mama Rose was.

Bernie's wearing a dress.
