Valley Performing Arts Center

DATE CHANGE

Please note that there is a change in this performance date. An Evening with Bernadette Peters has been moved from October 15 to March 3, 2012 at 8 p.m. Ms. Peters has just announced that she will be joining the cast of the Broadway production of Follies for a limited engagement opening in September. She is looking forward to performing here at the Valley Performing Arts Center in the spring.

One of Broadway’s brightest stars, Peters received both the Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for her critically acclaimed performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical Song and Dance. In June 1999, Peters earned her second Tony Award, her third Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Annie Oakley in one of Broadway’s most popular musicals, the smash Tony Award-winning hit Broadway revival of Annie Get Your Gun. Peters also received Tony nominations for her work in the 1992 musical The Goodbye Girl; Stephen Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Sunday in the Park With George; the Jerry Herman/Gower Champion ode to the movies, Mack and Mabel; and the Leonard Bernstein/Comden and Green musical On The Town. In addition to these honors, Peters earned a Drama Desk nomination for her memorable portrayal of the Witch in Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods.

"As an actress, singer, comedienne and all-around warming presence, Bernadette Peters has no peer in the musical theatre right now.”
