I sat in the front row of "Night Music..." (a spot I normally eschew) and was transported by the Peters "Clowns..." Unrelated, but not: and she was so gorgeous in that show -- the Zeta Jones costumes just suited her perfectly, and the white satin dress she wore to take on the iconic number was part of the experience. I loved her performance, opposite the wonderful Alexandeer Hanson.
As Brantley wrote:
"The halting phrases of the song suggest the overwhelming emotion Desirée is just keeping in check. Ms. Peters invests each brittle line with a full measure of feeling without losing the arc of the music or any of the delicate irony in the lyrics. Despite her sadness Desirée is too generous and too sophisticated to make a melodrama even of her own heartbreak. And yet while Ms. Peters’s Desirée erases her tears with flashing smiles, the inner devastation comes through with moving clarity. Ms. Peters transmits with equal force the sense of Desirée growing into new wisdom about what matters in love — and in life — at long last, and much too late." 8/1/10 |
