VHS Movie Reviews of Bernadette Peters in Concert
Movie Review: Bernadette Wows London
Summary: 5 Stars
As a UK fan of Bernadette this DVD is a must - the sound and picture quality is great. I also have the Video format and the DVD is by far superior. The London audience are appreciative not only of Bernadette but also her rendition of amazing songs. My favourites have to be "Unexpected Song", "Not A Day Goes By" and "Being Alive" - STUNNING!Movie Review: The Diva is still stunning!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernadette Peters remains one of the most striking performers on the musical stage, with a palpable presence reaching for miles. This concert features some of her old gems ("Unexpected Song" "Raining in My Heart" "Time Heals Everything"), a wonderful selection of Sondheim songs, a radiant joy, and a self-assured sense of humor (Too bad "making love alone" wasn't on the video). "Hello Little Girl" is perhaps the only weak moment in the show for my tastes, but cannot even begin to dampen my enthusiasm for Ms. Peters's delightful abilities.Movie Review: A Dazzling Evening of Entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
Who is a two-time Tony Award winner that radiates a rare sweetness and a lush sensuality? Who is scoring rave reviews on Broadway as Annie Oakley in the must-see, smash revival of Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun?" Only the hottest diva on the stage today, Bernadette Peters.I remember the first time I watched Bernadette Peters perform. She was a guest on "The Carol Burnette Show." The next time was in the Steve Martin film "The Jerk." I could not figure out why this woman appeared on television or the big screen with her unusual speaking voice, not realizing her career in musical theatre.
Did you know that Ms. Peters made her Broadway debut in 1967 in "Johnny No-Trump?" In 1968, she starred with Joel Grey in the musical "George M," earning a Theatre World Award for her memorable portrayal of Josie Cohan. During that same year, she received a Drama desk Award for her show-stopping performance in the smash off-Broadway hit musical "Dames at Sea." It is no wonder that Ms. Peters quickly became one of the most sought-after stars in musical theatre.
I have gained a new respect for Ms. Peters as a performer throughout the years. One reason was due to learning more about her career. The other reason was Ms. Peters recorded an AIDS benefit concert for the Gay Men's Health Crisis in December 1998 at New York's Carnegie Hall. She sang one of my personal favorites: "Making Love Alone" ("you'll save on cologne").
You now have the opportunity for a front row seat for a dazzling evening of entertainment, "Bernadette Peters In Concert." She performs songs from her illustrious stage and recording career, including renditions from legendary Broadway composers Stephen Sondheim's "Broadway Baby," Jerry Herman's "Time Heals Everything," Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight," and the Grammy-nominated "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight."
"Bernadette Peters In Concert" was recorded live from the Royal Festival Hall in London, and it aired on PBS as part of the August 1999 pledge drive. Ms. Peters' admirers' will be thrilled to discover that the video and DVD releases contain songs not previously broadcast on PBS. The DVD version contains a comprehensive biography and extensive career credits with specifically selected photos.
"Bernadette Peters In Concert" is absolutely fabulous, and it's a must own!
