I feel strongly for gay marriage to be accepted.
BERNADETTE PETERSI feel strongly for gay marriage to be accepted.
BERNADETTE PETERSI love pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.
BERNADETTE PETERSIt Might As Well Be Spring… I used to sing that as a young girl in my voice lessons. Then I picked it up again and it spoke to me in a whole new way.
BERNADETTE PETERSI lost a very dear friend who lived with AIDS for about 17 years. Rejecting early treatments that were iffy, he thought he saved himself. I really miss him a lot.
BERNADETTE PETERSIt was one of the most exciting, perfect evenings of my life, my solo debut at Carnegie Hall. And knowing we were all there to raise money for Gay Men’s Health Crisis made the evening an extraordinary experience.
BERNADETTE PETERSI love Some Enchanted Evening, and If I Loved You. And as I sing them more and more, I find new favorites.
BERNADETTE PETERSIn my career, there have been three things that were challenging: playing gay; playing a Jewish woman; and playing Anton Chekhov. The scariest part was playing Chekhov!

BERNADETTE PETERSI’ve been fortunate in my career to have performed in revivals of great musicals and to have originated roles in musicals that have in turn been revived. And I’m not dead!
BERNADETTE PETERSI’d like to one day play Amanda, the mother, in The Glass Menagerie.
BERNADETTE PETERSI think my manager of 30-some odd years now, Tom Hammond. He’s as fine a person as you could ever meet. And he’s had great theatrical taste and has influenced me that way.
BERNADETTE PETERSI know Mama Rose is a great role and I love having a chance to do it.
BERNADETTE PETERSGeorge M. is where I met my dear friend Joel Grey. We connected at rehearsal one day during a five-minute break. We were both looking out the same window and we knew in five minutes that we’d made a connection.
BERNADETTE PETERSWorking on behalf of companion animals is so important. We start to realize how healing they are.
BERNADETTE PETERS“Into the Woods” was… a lot of running around in the woods! I can’t wait to see the show again. People didn’t realize it back then, but kids still come up to me-young people-and they talk about it. It really made its mark.
BERNADETTE PETERSYou’d look out and there’d be little babies watching the show, and boys and girls. They loved the cowboys, and they loved Annie. There were young people seeing the show for the first time. I stayed for two years because I enjoyed it so much.
