PITTSBURGH, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Broadway star Bernadette Peters has agreed to replace injured Kristin Chenoweth at the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's gala concert next week.

"Kristin Chenoweth unfortunately had to cancel her appearance with the PSO due to injuries resulting from a fall on a stairwell over the weekend," PSO spokesman Jim Barthen told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "She is recovering at home in Los Angeles."

Instead, Peters will sing at the Sept. 15 Heinz Hall concert, which marks the beginning of the 2007-08 PSO season.

The Tony and Golden Globe Award-winning actress has performed on PBS's "Evening at Pops" and at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Also slated to appear at the Pittsburgh event are conductors Andrew Davis and Marvin Hamlisch and tenor Dimitri Pittas.
