Manhattan Theatre Club honored three-time Tony recipient Bernadette Peters at its 2018 fall benefit gala November 19.
Peters, most recently on Broadway in a critically acclaimed stint as matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi in the Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly!, joined the MTC Board in 1982 after starring in the theatre company’s production of Sally and Marsha.
Richard Maltby Jr., who directed Peters in SongandDance, helmed the evening, which included tributes from Broadway favorites Joel Grey, Kate Baldwin, Gavin Creel, and more. The event featured lighting design by Justin Townsend, sound design by Dan Gerhard, and musical direction by Marvin Laird with stage management from James Fitzsimmons and Jereme Kyle Lewis.
