"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

"Oliver and Liam were hilarious"
Are you intoxicated? Sorry they were not and that was brutal.
#211The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:53pmReally really happy about both of the Direction awards
#212The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:53pmIs that a first? Two women winning Best Director?
'Our whole family shouts. It comes from us livin' so close to the railroad tracks'

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:54pmYay Pam!! Literally screamed out loud. Two female directors winning. Wonderful!
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 8:54pmYES YES YES, some recognition for "Woolf!" I guess the "brochure" issue didn't matter after all. That was one of the singular best play experiences I've EVER had!
#216The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:54pmIs it a thing to bitch about every single thing The Tonys do? They're quite the step up from recent years.

I like seeing two women win for direction. I am so disappointed that I missed WOOLF.

But with talent. {ducks}
And yes, some folks like to tear every moment apart.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

YAY for Pam MacKinnon!
Cay I just saw how much it bugs me that they're introducing the actors from the long-running hits as "Mufasa", "Jack Kelly", and "The Jersey Boys?" I mean, aren't they ACTORS playing those roles, and not Disney walk-around characters? Tacky.
