I was there!
Peters sounded GREAT and her diction made for a more enjoyable evening than our previous visit--my partner--who doesn't know HELLO, DOLLY! at all, couldn't understand what all the fuss was about with Midler, because he couldn't understand anything that came out of her mouth. With Peters, he finally "got it," although granted it was his second time seeing the show.
I think, similarly to Murphy, Midler's performance was more memorable (due to her comic stuff/schtick, as well as her star power), but with Peters it's a better SHOW.
Happy to answer any questions...Garber didn't do it for me--too much sputtering and his singing was a little wobbly, on top of an accent that came in and out--but I think he will get better. |
