I don't get it.
"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: 8/6/09 at 6:59pmShe is amazing. She's still folding that towel, though it seems. I'm waiting on an update about it. I'll let everyone know when she's done.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 7:04pmShe's either completely brilliant or needs to be in a straightjacket. For the past two years I have been pondering this question.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 7:06pmWhy would you ask to her to friend you merely to mock her? Seems ungracious.

How do you know I was the one to ask her?
And I'm not mocking anyone. I'm simply reporting, just like Eddie Varley does.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 7:16pmIf she actually asked you to friend her I'll apologize, but I think people's FaceBook information should not be published, regardless. Hers is not a fan page.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 7:17pmI didn't think he was mocking either. There is a difference between having fun and making fun.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I'm loving her youtube videos because she's obviously making fun of herself. She loses it a few times.

I know they were flamed when they last said it, but I agree with whoever said she is CRAZY and that probably makes her good at her job (In N2N).
It's hilarious and cute, but come on. Maybe she is putting it on - but my God, she seems crazy.
Perhaps it's only in front of a camera.
