10 Times Bernadette Peters Did What She Had To Do

That's it. That's the tweet.

1. That time she needed to wear a red dress because it was Sondheim's 80th birthday and "Not a Day Goes By" needed to be slain.

2. Or how about that time she needed to strut and sing "The Golden Girls" theme song (long before it was "The Golden Girls" theme song).

3. How about when Broadway needed her to replace Bette Midler in Hello, Dolly!, wear yet another red dress, and invent stairs.

4. Then there was that time she needed to rap about beans and vegetables in Into the Woods so there could be at least one rap that all gays know.

5. Lest we forget about when she lost her mind eight times a week in Follies. Sometimes, that's just what one needs.

6. Even when she didn't need to win a Tony for her performance in Gypsy, she 100% won the 2003 Tony Awards with her performance of "Rose's Turn." (Who won that year? We did since we got to hear her sing.)

7. That time Mel Brooks needed her incomparable bump and grind skills for Silent Movie.

9. When she surprised us with an "Unexpected Song," but Bernadette sounding like a dream in ANOTHER gorgeous red dress is 110% expected.

10. And last but certainly not least, when Bernadette streamed from quarantine for Sondheim's 90th birthday and didn't need a red dress or piano accompaniment to make us feel ALL the feels.
