 Since 2013 , she has been touring intermittently with her cabaret act , An Evening with Bernadette Peters , and a concert series , " Bernadette Peters in Concert " . In April 2014 she gave concert performances in Australia . The reviewer for The Sydney Morning Herald wrote : " Perhaps it is a matter of personality as much as voice : a natural warmth and an instinct for never exaggerating the emotional content of a song . Whatever the case , it is easy to see and hear why , for 30 years , Bernadette Peters has probably been musical theatre 's finest performer . ... She even breathed new life into ' Send In the Clowns ' . ... Rather than make it emotionally swollen ( as so many do ) , Peters contracted it , delicately squeezing out its essence like toothpaste from a near @-@ empty tube . " Her 2016 concert plans include UK engagements at the Royal Festival Hall , Manchester Opera House and Edinburgh Playhouse .
