She doesn't seem hurt and bitter enough. This whole song is about Rose confronting who she really is, and it seems more like this is Rose goofing around.

It's an interesting take but I don't think it's what Styne and Sondheim had in mind when they wrote it.

Tyne Daly is honestly my least favorite Rose...everything about her performance rubs me the wrong way.

Her lack of stage presence (she just doesn't command the stage the way Rose needs to), her delivery, her gestures and her overall persona just don't work for me (her 'singing' doesn't do her any favors either).

i saw her do this on broadway, my fav show, thot she was amazing !

@boynamedalexxx She has a Tony Award for her performance to prove other wise.

I've never been a huge fan of her Rose's turn, but someone posted her entire performance up here a few years back and I watched it and fell in love with it. It's not great when you isolate it scene by scene, but as a whole, you can really see what she did with the character. She was warm, funny, scary, and heartbreaking. I wish whoever it was that posted the show would re-post for everyone to see. It was phenomenal!

she is amazing she is raw and in need of respect love honestly her acting is a tony worth show

[AdamEfimoff]

@boynamedalexxx i think she shows her need and she is wonderfully

[AdamEfimoff]

@boynamedalexxx she is amazing and won a tony are you kidding ??? he acting is amazing

[RaineaTrenton]

I think Tyne Daly delivers a very respectable, polished and palatteable delivery as Madam Rose. 

[boynamedalexxx]

@boynamedalexxx The idea of her characterization is a good one, as she does somewhat embody a Rose that would live near the railroad tracks, but she just doesn't cut it. I never feel her performance, not for a second.

Midler looks good by comparison (and she was horribly over the top in the film...)

I understand that a lot of people like Daly in the role (heck, she, somehow, won a Tony for it), but I just can't bring myself to enjoy this Rose.

Haaaa the "perpendicular bisector thing"? Hysterical!

At first, I didn't like Tyne at all because I thought that this wasn't enough of a "dramatic delivery." Now, I think she's great in her own way: A selfish stage mother, tough as nails. She sells that image better than Merman, who merely illustrated and indicated emotion.
