Join Bernadette Peters, critically acclaimed star of stage, film, television and recordings, for a magical and inspiring evening of songs from the great music masters. The multi-award winner creates an intimate audience experience when she performs celebrated selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim and Jerry Herman, among others. Come and enjoy the incomparable Bernadette for a one-of-a-kind evening of spell-binding songs that are sure to touch your heart.
