This morning as I was driving to school at 7:30 I was listening to Z100 or 106.1 BLI (a long island station) and all of a sudden I hear the name, Bernadette Peters. Apparently they were talking about that new reality TV show, The Littlest Groom. They said that Bernadette should be on that show because she's so small but has a "personality larger than life." One of the other radio talk show hosts said that she's one of the nicest people in show business and she is not THAT short. lol

Hey, funny you mentioned it because it was me! I called into the Z Morning Zoo to talk about the Cold Stone Creamer on 42 street and I mentioned that I went to see GYPSY. They then asked if it was closing and i was "Nooo!!!" and I told everyone to go see it.(They mentioned that they had seen it and loved it !) Then Elvis Duran said "Isn't Bernadette really short?". I said "well, she's tiny" and he said (as a joke) "isn't she on the littlest groom". They were sooo funny! So i did a little promotion for GYPSY LOL

I honestly don't understand all the Bernadette "short" jokes. Yes, she's petite, but it's a normal kind of petite. About 5'2", right? It's not like she's 4 feet tall. I always see her on the Upper West Side, and she looks totally normal to me, and I'm tall for a girl (5'8").

Anonymous, Have you ever actually stood next to her? You only mention that you have seen her a lot on the street so I figure it might be from afar. If you stand next to her, you might feel she is really tiny. I'm 5'7" so I'm coming at this from, it seems, a similar height as you and when I met her once during AGYG, I felt like I was completely towering over her. And I will go on record as saying I do not think she is 5'2" . I know that is what she claims to be though I think a magazine article in the last couple of years had her listed as 5'1" but I wouldn't be surprised if the woman is 5 feet or less. Plus in addition to her height, she is just really tiny. A true petite woman, in every way.

I'd be really surprised if she wasn't at least 5'1". I have some friends who are under 5' so I know where they stand in relation to me. And if Bernadette were really under 5', what would that make someone like Kristin Chenoweth? I don't think Bernadette has ever looked short on film, but I remember thinking that Chenoweth actually looked like a dwarf or a midget when I first saw her on some sitcom. I think she was very unflatteringly costumed so her head looked out of proportion to her tiny frame. It wasn't til I saw her in Wicked that I got that impression of her out of my head.

Yeah, I tower over her because I'm 5'8" (I stood right next to her at a starbucks), but I tower over lots of my friends who are a normal kind of short too. As I said before, Bernadette looks totally normal, and I don't think of her as extremely petite because she is not scrawny like Sarah Jessica Parker. Now there's someone who's tiny tiny!

I'm not sure sure how accurate I am, but I believe Kristin Chenoweth is about 4"10 or 4"11?

No way she's 5'2". I've 5'5" and I was still standing higher than her last Saturday night and I noticed her heels in a photo I took of her that night, heels that had to be 3-inchers.
Sooo, she's short. She's the epitome of the expression:
"Good things come in small packages."
It's all perspective anyway. Tammy looks so very tall on stage, like a six-footer, but she's not all that tall either. A couple of us autograph-seekers were remarking about that...

looks very tall--especially next to Bernadette in the last scene of Act 2 as they walk toward the back of the stage.
Funny!!

I agree with the anonymous person before. It shouldn't matter how tall she is Bernadette Peters is one of the most talented people in the world, and definitely the most talented on Broadway!

Kristin Chenoweth and I are the same height exactly - 4'11. I know this for a fact because the last time I stood next to her, she said to me, "How great. I almost forgot, you're 4'11 too, aren't you?"

I have NO idea how tall Bernadette is, though. I thought she was 5'3. I am probably wrong. lol

***************
Q: Any funny incidents or accidents with Kristin (Chenoweth)?

Norbert Leo Butz: I have this Errol Flynn moment where I swing in on this rope. One night in San Francisco, I let go of the rope and the rest of the actors started cracking up. I turned around and the rope had literally tied around Kristin's head and got caught on her crown and was pulling her off stage. It was like watching Barbie get hung.
