Peters returned to Broadway in the title role of the 2017 revival of "Hello, Dolly!" at the Shubert Theatre. Replacing Bette Midler, Peters began performances on January 20, 2018. Marilyn Stasio wrote in "Variety": "This Dolly's personal style is to twinkle and charm people into getting her way. (Her 'So Long, Dearie' is an irresistible gem.) She also has the acting chops to moisten eyeballs when she entreats her late husband to bless her renouncement of widowhood and rejoin the human race in 'Before the Parade Passes By'." Peters played her final performance as Dolly on July 15, 2018.
