So what show is Bernadette doing in the fall?

Posted: 7/12/09 at 5:13pm

She alluded to something "exciting" happening in the fall regarding her returning to Broadway on Fox 5.

Anyone have any hints?

Ok, that's worth going to.

She'd be great as Cora but technically not a return to Broadway.

Was hoping LuPone would repeat her Cora, but Peters will be great.

WHISTLE is in the Spring though, not Fall.

You're correct ljay. And it isn't BROADWAY.

Maybe she's doing a Broadway run of her concert?

Or maybe we're gonna see another transfer. Bernadette's a safe name to put investor $$$ into.

I could possibly see her replacing as Donna in Mamma Mia. Maybe she is going to be in one of those new shows opening.

It's called sarcasm I could never see her take on any role in wicked. I'm hoping for the Hello Dolly Revival.

Jerry Herman already said he's not interesting in seeing Bernadette as Dolly.

Don't you think we would have heard something by this point about some new show opening this fall that she could possibly be going into?

I mean "This Fall" is only a few weeks away. A big new show starring Bernadette Peters would already be on the radar, no?

Bobby, I'm glad someone else would want to see LuPone as Cora. I honestly thought of her before Bernadette, but really since I know Patti's done Encores and Bernadette hasn't.

I much prefer Peters in the role, though as I've said a hundred times before, Meryl would have been my top choice. If she did Central Park, why can't she do Encores!
So are Benanti and Pasquale rounding up the cast?

Ahhh, I guess Pasquale was wishful thinking. Sounds good though.

I'm not so quick to believe they've got Benanti.

She is going be in a show in the fall and already has a second one lined up for the spring that she'll have to take a leave for if the first one sustains a run.

I don't see how she'd have time to do anything else, even something like an Encores! show that requires a minimum time commitment.

Interesting, somethingwicked. Then perhaps Raul isn't attached either.
Maybe Jenny Powers can play Nurse Apple, I love her rendition of "There Won't Be Trumpets."

I don't know very much about Jenny Powers, but I kind of love that people are tossing her name around for so many projects.
