A Very Barbra Christmas

Barbra Streisand’s Christmas albums are considered yuletide classics, cherished by many as a treasured holiday tradition. Despite the popularity of these recordings, Streisand has never performed a holiday concert, leaving fans wishing for a Christmas miracle that someday she would do so. While the great diva has not announced any plans for such an event, Streisand fans in the Nutmeg State whose wish list includes attending a holiday concert with “Babs” will be able to enjoy the next best thing.

Joni Lambert, a Barbra Streisand impersonator/tribute artist based in Windsor, CT, will perform two holiday shows singing Christmas songs recorded by Streisand, as well as some of her greatest hits. The shows will take place in Windsor at the Hilton Garden Inn on December 14th at 4:00pm, and in Cromwell at the Crown Plaza Hotel on December 19th at 7:00pm.

Lambert, who has been performing as Streisand to sold out audiences from New York to Hollywood and internationally, scripted the show titled, “A Very Barbra Christmas”.  Considered one of the top Streisand impersonators in the industry, Lambert created this holiday event with the goal of making audiences feel like they are watching Barbra.

“I always try to use as much actual dialog from Barbra’s concerts and interviews in my shows as I can”, says Lambert, “The goal is to be as authentic as possible.“

Lambert Entertainment will donate 10% of the profits from the shows to The Wounded Warrior Project.

While some may scratch their heads wondering why Streisand, who is Jewish, would record Christmas albums, Lambert explains, “Knowing how Barbra values the concept of accepting one another, differences and all, and the fact that for many people Christmas means ‘peace on earth and goodwill toward men’, it kind of makes sense. During the holidays in her own home, she and husband James Brolin have both a Christmas tree and a menorah.”

Tickets are $25 each. For information or to purchase tickets call (860)794-7534 or visit www.MyNameIsBarbra.com.
