3.0 out of 5 stars Oh Bernadette!, August 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: In Concert - the Best of Broadway (DVD)

Bernadette Peters is perhaps the greatest theatrical actress of the last 100 years. This concert which is probably from the very early 80s was held in Canada. The track listing is as follows: 1. Wake Up and Live
2. If You Were the Only Boy
3. Musical Movies Medley
*Little Miss Nobody
4. Betty Grable
5. Broadway Baby
6. He's Sure the Boy I Love
7. Other Lady
8. Harold Arlen Medley:
* Blues in the Night
* Let's Fall in Love
* Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
* Stormy Weather

* Get Happy
* Over the Rainbow
This is actually a DVD with a free CD, and although that is nice, this performance is the weakest I've ever seen the kewpie doll maven perform. The musical arrangements are poor, the jokes aren't funny, and the audience doesn't laugh. Bernadette also cries nearly after every song she sings!
The DVD has very little extras with a brief biography with horrible misprints.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bernadette's the best, October 29, 2003

This review is from: In Concert - the Best of Broadway (DVD)

This is fun for Bernadette Peters fans. It is a glimpse into her past performances and her beautiful voice is entrancing. I would recommend this to Bernadette Peters fans but not anyone else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing Concert, October 20, 2002

By 

Mr A D Butler (Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Concert - the Best of Broadway (DVD)

This DVD is a great disappointment. Not only are the picture and sound qualities abysmal, Bernadette and her stage act are equally poor. The end credits indicate that the show is from 1979, so I don't know how well that fits into Bernadette's career development.

Her greatest fans will only cringe on seeing such an embarrassingly poor performance. Sadly too, it transpires that the arranger and conductor was the late and very great Peter Matz which adds to the disappointment!
