TV: Wow, Wow, Wow! Watch Bernadette Peters Take Her First Official Bows in HELLO, DOLLY!

A legend returned in a legendary role last night at the Shubert Theatre. Last night, two-time Tony Award winner celebrated her much anticipated return to Broadway as Dolly Gallagher Levi in the most successful and beloved production of the year, the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival of Hello, Dolly!.

After receiving five standing ovations from a star-studded audience, Ms. Peters emerged from the Shubert Theatre just after 11:00 PM. Literally stopping traffic, she walked a red carpet that rolled out for her across West 44th Street to a raucous celebration at Sardi's.
