Sondheim Etc. Etc.: Bernadette Peters Live at Carnegie Hall (The Rest of It).

You've got to be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for?

It was one of the most exciting, perfect evenings of my life.

Into the Woods.

Knowing it was my solo debut at Carnegie Hall and looking out at the audience and knowing that we were all there to raise money for Gay Men's Health Crisis made the evening an extraordinary experience.

Mary and I are delighted that Broadway Barks continues to be such a popular event, and we are deeply moved by the enthusiasm and support from the legions of fans and animal lovers who attend the event every year.

Annie Get Your Gun.

When I grew up in the '60s, your hair had to be straight and you had to be skinny and have no boobs, and it was like not my era.

I think that the more and more people connect to them, then we'll realize what an invaluable spirit this is.
