Three-time Tony honoree Bernadette Peters, recently presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 Chita Rivera Awards, will cross the pond this summer to play a one-night-only concert at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
The Broadway favorite, who will return to Broadway next season in the hit London revue Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, will play the London venue August 12 at 7:30 PM BST.
Bernadette Peters—Live From London will feature songs from the actor's many theatrical outings as well as her award-winning albums. Attendees can expect to hear songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, and Jerry Herman, among others.
Peters received both Tony and Drama Desk Awards for her performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Song and Dance. She earned her second Tony for her work in Annie Get Your Gun. She also received Tony nominations for her performances in Sam Mendes’ critically acclaimed revival of Gypsy, Neil Simon’s The Goodbye Girl, Stephen Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 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. She was last on Broadway in a critically acclaimed turn in the title role of Hello, Dolly! Peters is also the recipient of the 2012 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award. She was seen on the London stage last year in the aforementioned Sondheim revue, Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends.
