dance titled bernadette peters in andrew lloyd webber s song dance stephen holden opined the recording was a personal triumph for a singer and actress who is rapidly establishing herself as the first lady of the broadway musical performing material whose music borders on kitsch and whose lyrics and story suggest a verbose soap opera miss peters nevertheless projects an astounding emotional generosity and conviction almost singlehandedly she turns the inconsequential erotic misadventures of emma into a touching romantic fable about love and its defenses and the loss of innocence miss peters has always oozed a cuddlesome shirley temple like sweetness and vulnerability this quality which used to seem more like an adorable child star affectation than a deep seated trait has proved to be an essential ingredient of miss peters s personality a delivery that once seemed coy and cutesy has deepened and ripened into an honesty and compassion that pour out in singing that is childlike but also resilient 118 in 2003 andrew gans wrote in playbill com of peters s recording sessions for gypsy what is it about her voice that is so moving part womanly and part girlish it is a powerful instrument not only in volume though that is impressive but in the wealth of emotion it is able to convey her voice that mix of husky sweet rounded vibrato filled tones induces a response that spans

incredibly by others and brought it to a new level 119 of her performance on the recording of follies 2011 steven suskin wrote in playbill com this is a fine sally the sort of sally you d expect to
