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. Described by Stephen Sondheim as “flawless”, she has emerged as one of the leading interpreters of his work. Her initial success in the 80’s in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s "Song & Dance", and Sondheim’s "Sunday in the Park with George", was followed by the role of the Witch in "Into The Woods", and more recently, acclaimed revivals of "Gypsy", "Annie Get Your Gun", "A Little Night Music" and "Follies". Her versatile voice has variously been described as buttery and lemony, with a warmth, and a vulnerable, girly quality (David Cote called likened it to “an angelic soprano that can dip down to adorable, languid growls”). Her performances are marked by an ever-present mix of humor, warmth, passion and emotional depth. Hers is a subtle, less outward art, and her interpretations always full of depth and nuance.
