Immediately following at 9/8 p.m. CT, Broadway's baby brings down the house in Bernadette Peters in Concert. The Tony-Award-winning singer performs such classics as "Broadway Baby," "Some People," and "Unexpected Song," which Peters first sang as part of the original Broadway cast of Webber's Song and Dance.
