Two songs from Gypsy will bookend her evening: Peters will open with a new arrangement of Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim's "Let Me Entertain You" and will close with one of Rose's show-stoppers. Directed by Richard Jay-Alexander, the concert will also include Peters' renditions of Sondheim's "Being Alive," "Children Will Listen" and "Not a Day Goes By"; Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Some Enchanted Evening" and "This Nearly Was Mine"; and Jerry Herman's "Time Heals Everything."
