All I can say is SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, with her and Mandy Patinkin (who, it's worth noting, a lot of people feel the exact same way about, and again, I SO understand why)... somehow, it was alchemy. Pure alchemy.
That show's made such an indelible impression on me ever since, to the point where I could barely stop crying when I saw the real painting in Chicago. As such, Bernadette now always holds a special place in my heart.
