The dates for the Kennedy Center production of "Follies" (in which Bernadette will appear as "Sally") have been changed. The run has been extended, last performance is June 19 (I THINK matinee), and there will be no Sunday evening performances during the run.
I am not sure when this will be announced (I just got off the phone with the KC, which is how I know this.)

Here are several more cast members, announced today (Oct 27):
Jan Maxwell as "Phyllis Rogers Stone" (!)
Elaine Paige, as Carlotta Campion
Florence Lacey as "Sandra Crane"
Additional cast members are at the Playbill article:
playbill article announcing additional cast
This article also confirms that the musical will run through June 19, 2011 (still starting May 7. 2011).
I note that Ben Stone and Buddy Plummer have not been formally announced, nor have the "young" versions of the principals.

Eric Schaeffer (the Director) talks about "Follies" (on p.2). "And, it's a part she's always wanted to do, and she'll be fantastic in it!" 
Who's excited?

Very Excited!
"Particular mention must be made of Bernadette Peters, who turns up briefly in a sort of sparkly Glinda the Good costume. She's the reluctant muse sent to help Alice with her writing. The muse is dressed like Oz, sounds like Queens and behaves like a bored student adviser." Alice Film Review, The New York Times, December 25, 1990
"I'm one star away from Dolly Parton ... and Raymond Massey is between us. I hope we don't suffocate him." Bernadette Peters receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, April 24, 1987

Here is a group photo of the performers playing the "young" versions of Sally, Phyllis, Ben, and Buddy. (By the way, there is an article in the Washington Post today, May 2, 2011, on Elaine Paige.)
