In the ’70s, Bernadette Peters carved out a niche as a pouty, girlishly sexy, mouse-voiced comedic actress who could sing some. Now 60, she concentrates on the singing, mostly lush ballads and arms-outstretched, old-style pop numbers. She’s the kind of performer who falls under the rubric “multi-talented.” 8 p.m., Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, $49-$100. —Eric Snider
