Among the many joys of this year’s New York Public Library Spring Dinner held in the Celeste Bartos Auditorium of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the spacious hall where Salman Rushdie, while still in hiding, gave a reading and talk, and where French intellectual Bernard Henri Levy beseeched some brave woman to have sex with GW Bush to encourage his impeachment, if that’s all it would take, was a performance by Bernadette Peters of “There Ain’t Nothing Like a Dame” from South Pacific, and “Children Will Listen” from Into the Woods, that Stephen Sondheim classic. Peters revealed: though she comes from Queens, N. Y., the first time she came to this, the NYPL’s gorgeous central branch, was for the recent opening of another Sondheim revival, Sunday in the Park with George.
