“I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.” - Barbra Streisand..
Barbra Streisand has been a star on stage & screen for over 60 years! 

Debuting on Broadway as lead in the World Premiere 'Funny Girl' at just age 19, receiving a Tony Award and then repeating the same performance on screen at 21, receiving an Academy Award, both for 'Best Actress', this iconic talent went on to appear in over 20 movies and sell millions of records. 

One who never followed the rules, always pushing the boundaries within the industry, all while presenting exciting and fresh creative work, she has become loved by her growing audiences and respected by her peers. 

Enjoy People, The Way We Were, Evergreen & more!
