Perfectly timed (down under) as the 'closer' to Bio's Television Cabaret Month, the world premiere of Bernadette Peters' live concert from the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, will air on Foxtel's Bio Channel at 8:30 PM on this Saturday June 27th.

BWW TV gives you an exclusive look at the commercial currently running in Australia. If you caught Bernadette on Wednesday, co-hosting with Regis on Live with Regis and Kelly, she spoke about it and told everyone about what a great time she had in Australia and how effusive and generous the audiences were for her two sold-out concerts.

The entire festival, under the new artistic direction of David Campbell broke all records and is now a dream destination for performers around the world to get booked for this annual event.

Peters was the "jewel in the crown", that Campbell personally invited to be his centerpiece for his new position debut. They both performed for Cameron Mackintosh's Hey, Mr. Producer! in London and that's how they first met each other. Bernadette also stated on Regis & Kelly that hopefully, the concert special will be seen on our shores, as well as on DVD as soon as deals are put in place.

The turnaround time on the concert and on the editing were fast, as the performances actually took place on June 6th and 7th. The stage concert was directed by Richard Jay-Alexander with Marvin Laird conducting the 30-piece Adelaide Art Orchestra.

Many new highlights include her extraordinary version of "Nothing Like a Dame", "Johanna", "Rose's Turn", "Fever", "When You Wish Upon a Star" and a beautiful tribute to her late friend Peter Allen, "I Honestly Love You".

Enjoy the commercial...the concert is a knockout.
