    Songs of Bernadette: What will Peters sing?

    Posted in Upstaged by Adam Feldman on November 4th, 2009 at 5:02 pm

    bernadettepeters2We don’t see many Broadway concerts, but we’re making an exception on Monday, November 9, for Bernadette Peters’s one-night benefit for two charities: her longtime pet project Broadway Barks, which promotes the adoption of stray animals, and the Main Stem mainstay Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. We’ve never seen Peters perform a full live concert, and we’re pretty excited to see this eternal kewpie work her magic. We only wish we knew a little more about what she was actually going to perform: The concert promoters are being hush puppies indeed when it comes to the set list. A few possible clues: In the final minute of this video interview over at Broadway.com, Peters mentions that she will be kicking the concert off with the opening sequence from Into the Woods—with Broadway Barks cofounder Mary Tyler Moore guest-starring as the Narrator; she also mentions that she will take on six or seven new songs, and a sequence with dogs onstage. We’ve picked up some Twitter noise about a possible rendition of the beautiful “In Buddy’s Eyes” from Follies, but nothing definite. Can anyone spare a leak? If so, feel free to use our comments section below. And while you wait for Monday, you can sate yourself on two of Peters’s best performances: this heart-rending 1998 video of Peters performing “Not a Day Goes By” in London, and this classic Tony Awards clip of the ravishing “Rose’s Turn” from her underrated 2002 Gypsy—and, for a quick giggle, check out Cole Escola’s silly take on Bernadette in this video from the VGL Gay Boys.
