Someone must have talked her into this event. Lackluster.... she sang well, but there was barely one hour of material and no real enthusiasm. I was disappointed.
I would make a pact with the devil to look and act like Bernadette Peters!!! Couldn't take my binoculars off her!!! Although 40/50 mentally/emotionally--and a very happy, fulfilled woman--I am stuck in a 69 year old body which I do not enjoy looking at. So I'll look at Bernadette instead--lol! Any woman who wouldn't die to be that beautiful is either beautiful, not old enough to appreciate the benefits of a youthful, healthy, beautiful body, is senile, in denial, a liar or insane -- or all. What a beauty and voice considering her age-- and that hair!! To die for!!! Don't take the above literally or too seriously--I'm just pretty irreverent. Seriously, she is a great performer and I loved every minute! On the critical side, I thought the orchestra overwhelmed her voice at times. Although she probably doesn't have the voice volume she had 10 years ago I thought there were parts where the orchestra was just too loud. I am not knowledgeable enough to know who is responsible but think it should be the realm of her music director. I know he is quite famous and accomplished but we are members of the New West Symphony and they are very good. I have only seen them conducted by Boris Brott. They are much better with Brott. Enjoyed "let me entertain you" most. Love when she belts out those sexy, boisterous songs accompanied with her oh-so-sensuous moves. My favorite style for her. Would have loved to hear "Santa Baby" and "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend". What an album with her doing songs done by Angela Lansbury, Carol Channing, Rosie Clooney, Ethel Merman, Louis Armstrong, etc., etc. Would also love a duet album with Streisand, Dionne, Bocelli, Iglesias, Chayanne, David Hudson, Domingo, Donna Summer, Gibb (BGs), etc., etc. Seriously, watching and listening to Peters was a rare privilege -- how fortunate I am to be able to do these things!!!!!! Actually I'm listening to "I can do anything better than you" right now :)
She was wonderful. Could have sung some more upbeat songs but she is worth seeing and listening to no matter what.
I am a big Bernadette Peters fan. I think this is the forth live concert I have been to over the last 20 years. She is beautiful, full of energy, a great performer and has a connection with the audience that is world class. But I can only give her four stars. In a certain range the voice is still powerful and full and wonderful but there are sections where she no longer has the control she has had before. If you are a fan, you forgive her any short comings because you feel so good about just being there and hearing her sing. But if you had never heard her before, I think you might be a little disappointed. 90% of the songs were right on. 10% were not at her best. The strings were also very hard to hear over the drums and brass but then it was still a wonderful evening.
We were disappointed in the performance. We love Bernadette and she sang her little heart out but......, Her choice of songs could have been more zesty. too many ballads. Also, if there were background singers, it could have make things a bit were lively. Way too short of a performancae for the money.
Enjoyed her range, Wonderful background sound, and subtle. Note! Her verision of FEVER brought the house down. And I'm a fan of Peggy Lee's. Disappointed that the show was over in 1#hrs. Perhaps a short, second entertainment.(My ticket was over 100.) A challenge for my budget. Also most of her selected songs were generally obscure.
Absolutely fabulous! She is the best at singing Steven Sondiem songs in the business today. I would recommend this performer to all who love musical theater.
To see Bernadette Peters is to see greatness. Her ability to sing so many wonderful and sometimes obscure songs is breath taking. All she needed was a piano, orchestra and herself,, that is where the magic began. She not only sings the song, she sells it. Bernadette doesn't take the easy road, her choices of music and the ability to sing them leave the audience wishing for more. Her expertise in singing Stephen Sondheim challenges her audience by saying," I can do that." A totally wonderful evening. One could not have asked for more. Except for Bernadette singing more songs. A total delight.
Great voice but perhapas the most uninspired performance I've ever seen. Absolutely not worth the $. And what's happening to Tilles anyway? I remember when everyone used to get dressed up for opening night. Half the audience looked like they stopped in on their way to grocery shopping. Terrible night all around.
I am a big fan of Bernadette Peters, so she can do no wrong. It is amazing how she looks the same as she did many many years ago. Her voice is as beautiful as ever. Some songs showcase her singing abilities more than others. I would like to hear more of these songs. She carried off the show with grace and joy. It is amazing how many songs she was able to perform without any breaks. She was also able to inject a lot of humor, particularly the inuendos about selling her house.
great a treasure to see and hear well worth the wait
My only complaint is that the evening went by so quickly. I would have liked if she sang for two hours instead of an hour and a half. I really enjoyed the program. Concert Hall was beautiful and in excellent condition. I liked it that Ms. Peters introduced her drummer. He was from the original cast of the Mouseketeers, Cubby O'Brien.
