Sondheim Etc. Etc.: Bernadette Peters Live at Carnegie Hall (The Rest of It),
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.
I think gays have great taste! I actually think their emotions are highly sensitive, and they're aware of when people are singing of truths or not!
You'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.
In my career, there have been three things that were challenging: playing gay; playing a Jewish woman; and playing Chekhov. The scariest part was playing Chekhov!
I love pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.
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.
Working on behalf of companion animals is so important. We start to realize how healing they are.
Animals speak with pure affection. It's important to me to get something going in NY so we can get to be a no-kill city, and give the animals homes and more attention and love.
It 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.
It was like being high when you reach those high notes.
I love Some Enchanted Evening, and If I Loved You. And as I sing them more and more, I find new favorites.
The first Broadway show I ever heard was the recording of Carousel, and it was a very vivid experience.
I don't smoke, I don't drink much, I don't eat red meat. I stay out of the sun.
