Jesse continues to write think pieces that are not interesting. And he also seems to think everyone is pondering these same sorts of questions. They're not. No one talks about the Times relationship to Broadway any more. It's over.

What does it say? I'm pay-walled.

"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

He kinda just rambles on.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

He really does. I'm not sure what the point is.

I’m not sure he knows either!

It is completely valid for directors and their casts to have these conversations behind the closed doors of a rehearsal room, but a critic/journalist theorizing about the choices before seeing the productions doesn't make much sense to me.

Usually love Jesse, but this is just some interesting thoughts looking for a point.
