VHS Movie Reviews of Bernadette Peters in Concert
Movie Review: The last of the TRUE Broadway Divas!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernadette Peters and Broadway... one in the same.Hearing or seeing Ms. Peters, either live or on tape never ceases to amaze me. This concert was nothing but pure joy. To see an artist of her caliber perform is always high scale entertainment.
Bernadette's interpretation of both music and lyric is one of a kind, and here we get to see it up close. Her interpretation of Sondheim's music is unlike anyone's. It's no wonder why she enjoys performing his work... she does it flawlessly. The definition of a true artist is one who can convey their feelings and emotions to their audience... and Bernadette more than accomplishes it. As I watched her performance, I felt what she did.. happiness, sadness, joy and regret. And overall incredible evening of performance by a great star.
What makes it even more special to know is that the tender loving Bernadette on stage is the REAL Bernadette. I have had the pleasure of meeting her after a few of her shows and concerts and she's as warm off stage as she is on. A true delight.
If you're a fan of musicals, Stephen Sondheim or music sung and interpreted beautifully, buy this DVD! It will be an evening of performance you won't soon forget!
Movie Review: A response to Mr. David Carlin's review below
Summary: 5 Stars
Just for the record, Bernadette Peters was born on February 28, 1948, so she has many years to go before she reaches age 61. Also, she has said in interviews that she doesn't smoke or drink, is a vegetarian, exercises regularly, and takes dance and voice lessons. After all, she is an actor, and actors frequently refer to their bodies as their "instruments." If Bernadette's instrument is fine-tuned and in great shape, it isn't because she sold her soul to anybody. It's because she made a commitment to professionalism, and has led a disciplined life. And couldn't we all learn a thing or two from her?Movie Review: Broadway Baby
Summary: 5 Stars
I already owned Into The Woods and was in awe of Ms. Peters' performance in it, so I purchased this. I was astounded at her performing and vocal ability, and much more astounded when I found out her age (exact words: "but, she's so HOT!"). Except for "We're In The Money", all the songs and/or performances are wonderful (some of the songs were only made interesting by her rendition). Also, if anyone who heard she will be playing Madame Rose in Gypsy is doubting her ability to play the role, they ought to see her rendition of "Some People" on this video.Movie Review: a FABULOUS concert!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernadette really shows what makes her so wonderful in this concert. She is the kind of performer who will take her audience on the full emotional journey of every song she sings. Her rendition of "Till the Days Go By" is especially moving. This concert is WELL worth its money.Movie Review: She's still got it!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After 50 some-odd years she's still going strong and better than ever as this movie proves. It's one that a person can NEVER get tired of! Bernadette is witty, and sweet and loveable. Do NOT miss this.
