The day I moved to New York to learn how to write musicals, a little over seven years ago, I ate lunch with some friends at a Malaysian restaurant; halfway through the meal, Bernadette Peters walked in and sat down at the table next to us.
Two nights ago, in Beverly Hills (where I am on vacation), I ate dinner with E.S. and some friends at an Italian restaurant; halfway through the meal, Liza Minnelli walked in and sat down at the table next to us. And this time I had the sense to get an autograph.
I am clearly moving up in the world.

perhaps this is heresy, but i'm not 100% convinced that a move from bernadette to liza is a move up.
i mean, have you HEARD her in "Into the Woods?"
*expecting a bitchslap or three*

Liza ahead of Bernadette? Have you no shame man? The musical Gods are contemplating your punishment.

When Bernadette's mom goes (went?--sorry mom) to her everlasting reward....
How many rioting drag queens are we counting on seeing? Heh?
Liza is gay royalty--totalmente crazyass yes--but royalty nonetheless.

Er, um.. Wow, you were at a Malaysian restaurant? I'm a Malaysian! (Sorry, I have no idea who Bernadette Peters is.)

I'm a little embarrassed that you, a theater professional, would bother Ms. Minnelli when she was just out having dinner trying to be a regular person.
Tee hee, I called Liza Minnelli "regular."

Not just vacationing in L.A., but in Beverly Hills? If you hadn't just spent Thanksgiving in New Jersey, I would really think you're heading for the society pages.
Now don't forget to get a little Botox done while you're out there.

but, boys, please remember Liza is Judy's daughter and that counts above anything else (this from one of 'a certain age'), so Liza trumps Bernadette

[#1] I think we can take it as read that Faustus has heard Bernadette Peters in Into the Woods.
Other than that, I agree Bernadette is better and Liza is starrier. Is that some kind of problem?

Which is a relief, because I thought that commenter was asking if he'd heard Liza Minelli in Into The Woods.
