Bernadette Peters At The Adelalde Cabaret Festival was recorded in 2009 and is exactly what it says on the tin. [1h32m, proshot]
Wow Bernadette looks great for her age! I thought this was taken maybe 80s or 90s, but the quality of the video was too good.

Her appearance in the Sondheim 90th Birthday Youtube stream really made me wonder what horror is lurking on canvas in her attic.

Best possible use of the blood of virgins.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is the 'i' in Adelaide capitalised?

I had the good fortune to see Bernadette Peters perform in the mid-90s and got to meet her afterwards. She is truly remarkable live. She is also just about the tiniest person I have ever met, but her energy absolutely fills up the room.

I copy/pasted from the YouTube title, so I have no idea. It's still a great video, though.

I'm almost 60 and had a crush on her when I was about age 12 ….this footage does not jive with that timeline.

Ok mind blown even though I've seen this almost optical illusion with the great ballerinas. I had the great fortune to see her in Into the Woods. Knew nothing about the musical except Ms Peters was in it and I was quite excited. Then in the first act utterly disappointed as she was not in any scene... until... the reveal. Just magic. But if you'd asked me 10 min ago I'd have said, don't know but at least 5'10''. Theater just is the best alternate reality.

What a wonderful interpretation of "You Are Not Alone."
Looks like Playbill might have the set list?
I have a friend who LOVES Bernadette - I must share this with him.
Thank you so much for posting this, hippybear!
