"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

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:57pmA Christmas Story was my favorite show this season! I'm glad they chose that song. I was sitting front row when I saw it, so I didn't have a good view of the tapping! If it wasn't a Christmas themed show, I guarantee it would have been a front-runner for best musical.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:58pmCan the camera crew pick one freaking angle and stick on it for longer than 30 seconds? That was a great performance from a fantastic show, but it was horribly filmed. There's so much happening onstage. The constant closeups of random performers aren't needed. Give us tracking shots and full stage shots, so we can see (mostly) everything!

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:58pmAt this point in the evening, it's refreshing to see a performance of adults and no children (PIPPIN).

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:59pmI do hope that they do some sort of tribute to Marvin Hamlisch. The Oscars did, and I think the Tonys would be even more appropriate.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:59pmCinderella showed much better than Pippin did tonight in their respective numbers.
