Throughout her illustrious career, Tony Award-winning actress Bernadette Peters has dazzled audiences and critics with her performances on stage and television, in concert, and on recordings. Bernadette Peters, Broadway’s brightest star, performs an evening of songs from the Broadway shows she’s received accolades for, as well as from her Grammy-Award winning albums including standards, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Stephen Sondheim. It’s a glamorous evening as only Bernadette Peters can do.
Read the New York Times review of her performance in "A Little Night Music" featuring the song "Send in the Clowns."
In 2003, she received her seventh Tony Award nomination for her electrifying portrayal of Momma Rose in Sam Mendes’ record-breaking Broadway revival of Gypsy, and her brilliant performance was captured on the Grammy award-winning Gypsy cast recording. “Bernadette Peters is a revelation!” Ben Brantley of The New York Times declared of her star turn in the show. Peters’ latest CD, "Sondheim, Etc., Etc.: Bernadette Peters Live at Carnegie Hall (The Rest of It)," features never-before-released highlights from her historic 1996 highly anticipated solo debut at Carnegie Hall. The concert was a benefit for Gay Men’s Health Crisis. This performance was repeated in Bernadette Peters in Concert, her London solo debut at Royal Festival Hall, which later was telecast on PBS and is available on DVD.
While Peters is best known for her work in the theatre, her career doesn’t end at the footlights. She boasts an impressive list of television credits ranging from performing arts specials such as PBS’ Evening at Pops and The Kennedy Center Honors to appearances in variety shows such as The Carol Burnett Show and an Emmy-nominated performance on The Muppet Show. She appeared in the star-studded Sondheim: A Celebration at Carnegie Hall and also played an opera diva-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown in Terrence McNally’s The Last Mile, both for PBS’ highly acclaimed Great Performances series. Other television credits include PBS’s Hey Mr. Producer!: The Musical World of Cameron Mackintosh and the ABC-TV special Quincy Jones: The First 50 Years.
