"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 10:24pmThat may have been the most beautifully done best memoriam I can remember.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:24pmAmazing performance from Cyndi to those who passed away.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:24pmCyndi singing that song can still make me cry after all these years. That's an amazing testament to her talent.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:25pmI think it's a little tacky that more "popular dead" people get applause and others dont. They should hold applause until the end.

Beautiful, Cyndi. Such a beautiful song. Love that high note.
This woman is now one award away (albeit an Oscar) from joining the EGOT club.

I would like to thank BWW for not bitching about True Colors not being a song from a Broadway musical.
Applause during the in Memoriam segment. Klassy.
A hundred times classier than that post.

It's that way in life, why not in death?

OK....I can see how this "character" introduction thing seemed like a good idea.
It's not. It's cheesy.
