Unexpected Song {Song & Dance ~ Broadway, 1985} - Bernadette Peters

Bernadette Peters as Emma in Song & Dance. Here's a chance to see her perform this song without her flailing her arms all over the place in reckless abandon lol. Enjoy!

Aaaaaaahhhh! I am LIVING for this footage!!! So glad it exists! One of my favorite songs of all time! She sings it the best!

[@milesmontemore5060]

Thanks. She sings it better "live' than on the original cast recording.

Why does Bernadette always make me emotional? What a performer. Even singing ALW.

Damn! That girl sure loves those cowboy boots!

"flailng her arms" LOL I've lost count of how many times she does that in any concert. When I saw "Follies" I figured the "Losing My Mind "dress they gave her, with the strap draped over one arm, was to keep her from using her arms.

[@bigred8432]

She’s using her arms but I would say flailing

[@magnetpi99]

trademark "Bernadette"! It's endearing. LoL!

I saw her in concert with the San Francisco Symphony many years ago. She sang this song and it was sublime.

[@pamoouru]

When I saw her in this show in '85, and she sang this song, I got chills! Such a beautiful performance!

[@TheBarbraStreisand1]

A Tony winning performance. Legend!

[@MissPoochSmooch]

Why is she writing a letter to her Mum when she can just text? ...oh... right...

[@magnetpi99]
