(Starting a new thread)
Here is an interesting (to me) article about her pre-show routine and her thoughts about twitter:
Wall Street Journal, Sept 3, 2011
Excerpts:
"Bernadette Peters has been working in show business since she was a 3-year-old, appearing on TV programs like the children’s game show “Juvenile Jury.” Now Peters is set to return to Broadway with the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s 1971 musical “Follies,” opening Sept. 12. The production, previously at Washington’s Kennedy Center, tells the story of former showgirls who reunite at their old theater the night before it is razed for a parking lot. Peters, a 63-year-old native of Queens, N.Y., plays Sally Durant Plummer, a onetime chorine turned desperate Phoenix housewife. The actress recently spoke with The Wall Street Journal about tap dancing backstage before the show, picking Stephen Sondheim’s brain and stumbling across a tortoise in New York City."
The Wall Street Journal: How do you get ready to perform?
Bernadette Peters: If I can, I only do the tap dance before the show. I work it out so it doesn’t come upon me as something that’s a shock to the body. And I also try to exercise during the day before the show, I just run a little bit, you know. I don’t want to look really fit. I just want to have stamina. By the time the tap dance comes up, it’s way into the show, so you’re sort of cold again by the time it comes up.
You’re a pretty private person. Even your Twitter feed doesn’t give anything away.
I don’t write it. I don’t think there’s much on there. My webmaster, she’s, “Let’s do Twitter!” I just couldn’t imagine Twittering. I wouldn’t put anything personal on there for the world to read. I passed by the Museum of Natural History and the guy was on the lawn behind the gate with a great big tortoise. He was walking the tortoise. I talked to him because I’m an animal person. He lives at the museum. That’s what I would Twitter. I’d say, “Hey everybody, come and see a tortoise in the middle of Manhattan on the lawn of the Museum of Natural History.”
