Icon Bernadette Peters talks Broadway, Kpop Demon Hunters and pet advocacy, ahead of La Crosse performance

Broadway icon, singer, and actor Bernadette Peters joined ahead of her visit to La Crosse and performance Saturday at Viterbo. We covered a variety of topics from her longtime animal rescue advocacy through Broadway Barks, to Wisconsin cheese, to navigating a shifting media landscape where even Netflix anime like Kpop Demon Hunters are charting on the Billboard Top 100 with multiple songs. With a career spanning decades, Peters reflected on some of her most beloved roles and appearances and, of course, we talked about what to expect from her show Saturday, which begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Viterbo Fine Arts Center Main Theatre (tickets here). Peters is a three-time Tony Award recipient and Golden Globe winner. She has been nominated for four Emmy Awards, four Grammy Awards, and has appeared in more than 30 films, alongside her extensive Broadway career. She’s also hosted Saturday Night Live and The Muppet Show, and voiced a character in the animated series Animaniacs — something we touched on in relation to the K-pop conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
