As are MOST performers.
I agree, she’s not right for every part. She really, really surprised me in Gypsy. She was an absolute revelation. Where Lupone really added nothing new, Peters got all the humor and more nuance than any of the 47 Roses I’d seen before.i was staggered. This is where I began to really take her seriously. And she’s currently giving an uproarious performance on the very same stage. She’s nothing short of glorious. Truly. Don’t miss it.
Mabel, the Witch, Desiree, Rose, Dolly. That’s an incredible resume. She was also very underrated in the dreck that was The Goodby Girl. I hated the Follies revival(s), save for Papermill (which I ADORED). And Song & Dance was just ... unnecessary. Buckley (her replacement) made Peters look better than she was. She really sparked through lousy material, but what a crappy show. Ugh.
I’d rank her Dolly, her Witch, her Desiree and her Rose as her best work. With Dot right behind. She’s terrifically versatilr.
Reconsider your position. See her Dolly. She’s dynamic. You’ll be very glad you did. |
