Sondheim has said of Peters, "Like very few others, she sings and acts at the same time," he says. "Most performers act and then sing, act and then sing ... Bernadette is flawless as far as I'm concerned. I can't think of anything negative." -- Wikipedia


When Peters sang Sondheim you found

Such a wedding of lyrics and sound

That shows that were tops

Could have ended as flops

With no Bernadette Peters around.
