On March 7, 1955, NBC presented Peter Pan live as part of Producers’
Showcase (with nearly all of the show’s original cast) as the first full-
length Broadway production on color TV. The show attracted a then
record audience of 65-million viewers, the highest ever up to that
time for a single television program.

Bernadette Peters (Bernadette Lazzara) started in show business at
the age of 3, when her mother put her on the television show Juvenile
Jury. She has since starred in musical theatre, films and television, as
well as performing in solo concerts and recordings.
