There’s magic in the air in Ogunquit, and it’s not just the ocean breeze. The legendary Bernadette Peters is set to grace the stage at the iconic Ogunquit Playhouse for a special one-night-only performance — and yes, it’s already sold out.
This exclusive evening with one of Broadway’s most celebrated performers is the latest in a string of powerhouse performances hosted by the Playhouse, a beloved cornerstone of southern Maine’s arts and culture scene. Peters, known for her unforgettable roles in Into the Woods, Gypsy, Sunday in the Park with George, and so many more, brings her timeless voice, charm, and wit to a historic venue that’s long been a favorite summer destination for theater lovers.
A Night to Remember
Scheduled for August 4th, this sold-out concert honoring Artistic Director Bradford T. Kenney’s 20th season promises to be a night of intimate storytelling and soaring vocals. Peters’ performance will feature iconic songs from her Broadway career, as well as classics from the American Songbook — all delivered with the warmth and charisma that have made her a three-time Tony Award winner and one of the most beloved figures in American musical theater.
Ogunquit’s Spotlight Moment
For the Ogunquit Playhouse, this event is yet another reminder that you don’t need to travel to New York City to experience world-class talent. With Broadway-level productions, historic charm, and a picturesque seaside setting, it’s no wonder the Playhouse draws top-tier performers and enthusiastic audiences season after season.
If you were lucky enough to grab tickets to this sold-out event, prepare to be mesmerized! And if you missed out — don’t worry. Ogunquit Playhouse’s summer season is just heating up, with more incredible shows on the way (hint: High Society is next on deck!).
