I recently leafed through the new piano book for Bernadette's new album and was thoroughly disappointed.
The piano book consists of all the songs she sings on her latest CD but they are the exact same arrangements that I have in all of my other broadway piano books.
I would have given ANYTHING to have a Bernadette Peters piano book with the new arrangements by Jonathan Tunick. I mean, who WOULDN'T love to play the new sultry version of "There's Nothin' Like a Dame" ?!?!?!
So, if you already own many Rogers and Hammerstein piano books, don't waste your money. Even a die-hard fan like myself didn't see the need to purchase it.

Hey Jeff, I got into the same bind looking for a Dave Brubeck arrangement of 'My Romance' which happens to be a Rodgers and Hart tune. Ms Peters also performed it at the end of the London Concert video, a bonus for me since it has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
Anyway, what I found out was that the people that own these type of songs either charge way too much, or simply won't allow people to publish their own arrangements.
Guess you will have to be like me and just hack away at it on your own.
I know I would be a happier person if I could be Marvin Laird for a day. 
PS: October 4th Bernadette concert 5 miles from my house. I'm there !!.
Jim.
