Bernadette Peters to Perform Benefit Concert at Broadway's Minskoff Theatre

Two-time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters will perform a one-night-only evening of song, Bernadette Peters: A Special Concert for Broadway Barks Because Broadway Cares, on November 9 at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre. Produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the concert will benefit Broadway Barks and BC/EFA. Richard Jay-Alexander has signed on to direct, with musical direction by Marvin Laird.

Peters will perform material from her Broadway career and recordings, as well as popular songs and personal favorites, including selections by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim and Jerry Herman.

“When the opportunity came along to do a concert to benefit two of my passions, Broadway Barks and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, it was a match made in heaven,” Peters said in a statement. “It will be a beautiful evening: you, me, and a 30-piece orchestra, all sharing to benefit some of our best two-legged and four-legged friends—beauties, all of them.”

A Tony Award winner for Song and Dance and Annie Get Your Gun, Peters has received Tony nominations for Gypsy, The Goodbye Girl, Sunday in the Park with George, Mack & Mabel and On the Town and won a Theatre World Award for George M.
