Duh! I forgot today's show is a 3 PM. I thought Marvin was at the piano. I'll have to go back and look at the tape.

Jean...we must have seen different versions this morning!
I'm pretty sure that Marvin Laird was at the piano and I didn't hear any orchestra music at all -- just the piano.
I also think there may be some truth that it was taped. Holt's tie for the show seemed like a solid reddish color, but the tie he had on when he spoke with Bernadette appeared to be a brown print.

Ok, I am officially losing my mind-was the orchestra in my head? I admit I was out of the room when she was actually singing.
And I'll look at the tape later to take a look at the piano player.
And now off.
edit--see below. Oh, my too many Easter eggs.

I just played my tape. I have it and I'm really glad that my dad remembered to press record because it played at 6 am here.

Marvin was playing the piano during the song. I saw him. And the performance was only so-so in my opinion. I love Bernadette, but the performance it self seemed a bit lackluster.

She was pulling out all the energy she could muster.
Two shows yesterday, another this p.m. And to be in full costume, including the wig, and makeup, at a morning hour she's not used to seeing?!?! She was pretty damn good, IMHO.

I'd like to sound that "lackluster" on my worse day! 
Seriously, I know nothing about singing, etc. , but gotta think that it's hard to do that kind of song in a studio with no real audience and no orchestra when you usually do it on stage and can feed off the audience.
You gotta give her credit for being out there selling the show.

I had planned to tape it but forgot and luckily my mom called me to wake me up midway through the performance. Wish I had seen it all and taped it 
But in May, 1st row!!! I can't say this enough, I'm soo excited!

OK, let me just try to clarify all of my comments before I eat dinner.
1) No, there WAS NO ORCHESTRA. I was wrong. My unfortunate comment about when B. sings its like an orchestra playing was supposed to be self-deprecating humor. But I'm not Carl Reiner. Or Mel Brooks.
2) Marvin DID play the piano. I need new glasses.
And now for those eggrolls.

I think it may have been taped also. Lester's tie was definately different and the backdrop seemed really dark. Now, I know they had "blinds" pulled or something but you can usually see through the edges and it looked dark (and like street lights were shining through.) So, I have no idea what that means as for a taping time.

hey guys, here is a transcript...
---
LESTER HOLT, co-host:
Proving it's a true Broadway classic that stands the test of time, the latest revival of "Gypsy" is about to celebrate its one-year anniversary on the Great White Way. It's been called spectacular, dazzling and immensely entertaining, and the same could certainly be said of its star, Bernadette Peters.
Bernadette, good morning.
Ms. BERNADETTE PETERS ("Gypsy"): Good morning, Lester.
HOLT: Good to have you here.
Ms. PETERS: It's great to be here.
HOLT: It's been almost a year. That adds up to roughly 400 performances.
Ms. PETERS: You know, I don't count. I don't know how many songs I sing, I don't know how the long--I sort of know how long the show is. I know it's two acts. But I just start the show, do it, take my little journey, and it's quite a journey.
HOLT: But it's a lot of performances. How do you keep it fresh not only for the audience but for yourself?
Ms. PETERS: Yeah.
HOLT: Do you change it a lot?
Ms. PETERS: I--you know, when you have a great play--because this is a great play with music. It's a great story. There's so much to learn from it. There's so much that reveals itself to me, that--that that's why I can do it for so long.
HOLT: You're going to do "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
Ms. PETERS: Yes, I am.
HOLT: Set--set the scene for me. Where in the show...
Ms. PETERS: This is where Rose--I play Rose--her daughter June--she has two daughters, Louise and June--who's the whole soul of--of her whole life, runs away. She's--she's been putting her whole energies in this one child, who's a performer--a--a very talented performer, but June runs away with one of the boys in the show and leaves. And basically, Rose feels very deserted. And then she looks to her other daughter, Louise, who she's basically ignored her whole life, and decides she's going to make that daughter a star.
HOLT: Well--well, let's hear it. This is "Everything's Coming Up Roses" from "Gypsy." Bernadette Peters, take it away.
(Bernadette Peters performs "Everything's Coming Up Roses")
HOLT: Bernadette Peters, thank you.
And you can see Ms. Peters in "Gypsy" at New York's Schubert Theater on Broadway. We'll be back in a moment. But first, this is TODAY on NBC.
