I was just about to post these nice comments from the author of that article"
" At the Theatre World Awards last Monday, I had the opportunity to tell Bernadette Peters that I thought her performance in Gypsy was one of the best I've ever seen, and that I look forward to her singing "Rose's Turn" on the Tony telecast. It's unfortunate that a backlash exists. When did missing shows due to illness become a crime? It's not as if Peters were indicted for insider trading, or caught using a cork-filled bat. (In baseball, I thought it was the bases, not the bats, that were supposed to be loaded.)
The Tonys are about comparisons, however odious that may be. While I consider Marissa Jaret Winokur a very talented newcomer, I do not believe that the part of Tracy Turnblad compares with Madame Rose, nor do the performances of Winokur and Peters. Standout differs from outstanding."
