With an illustrious career spanning stage, film and television, Tony Award-winner Bernadette Peters' voice will be heard in Summertime Entertainment's 3D CG animated feature, DOROTHY OF OZ as "Glinda," the powerful sorceress who once granted Dorothy Gale's wish to go back to Kansas. "To have Bernadette Peters as ‘Glinda' is such a treat," said Will Finn, one of the film's directors. "She epitomizes the character who is known by Oz fans worldwide to have a very caring and generous heart."

Peters agreed: "‘Glinda' and I have the same heart and soul,'" she said during a recent EPK shoot in Los Angeles. She even joked, "Her hair has a mind of its own like mine!" Peters will sing a duet on the film's soundtrack with "Glee's" Lea Michele who stars as "Dorothy." Peters recently guest starred in NBC's hit series "Smash," as the mother of Megan Hilty, the show's co-star as well as the film's "China Princess." Hilty, who is no stranger to Oz, also played "Glinda" on Broadway's "Wicked."
