On July 10, theater fans will be able to watch Bernadette Peters in a never-before-seen-online concert to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Bernadette Peters: A Special Concert will be free to stream here at 8PM ET. Donations are encouraged for those whose needs are heightened by the COVID-19 crisis and to organizations working toward social justice and anti-racism.
The concert, which was filmed in 2009 at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre, features an appearances from Mary Tyler Moore, who co-founded the annual pet adoption event Broadway Barks with Peters. In addition, Michael Urie, whose solo livestream of Buyer & Cellar on Broadway.com raised over $200,000 for BC/EFA, will join Peters for a conversation about the concert and her amazing career.
Peters was last seen on Broadway in 2018 in the title role of the Tony-winning Hello, Dolly! revival.

She has been Emmy-nominated twice, for The Muppet Show and Ally McBeal.
