Bernadette Petters Critically Acclaimed At Broadway Performenc

They was its the production was flawed drab sets and dim lighting skimpy orchestra some overly-broad acting but none of the flaws mattered when this musical, back on Broadway after 35 years, featured Stephen Sondheim’ s deeply clever songs, as well as the allure and majesty of its two stars. Now, I liked it when it opened in December my review.

She has one of the most critically acclaimed Broadway performers, having received nominations for seven Tony Awards, winning two, and eight Drama Desk Awards, winning three. Four of the Broadway cast albums on which she has starred have won Grammy Awards. Bernadette Peters (born Bernadette Lazzara on February 28, 1948) is an American actress, singer and children's book author from New York City. Over the course of a career that has spanned five decades, she has starred in musical theater, films and television, as well as performing in solo concerts and recordings.

There anyway is show opened in December to mixed reviews, with the only unabashed kudos reserved for Angela Lansbury in the role of Madame Armfeldt, Desire mother and a former highly successful courtesan who despairs at her daughter’s lack of skill in using men, as she herself had done, to assure her financial security.
