Barbra Streisand / Frank Sinatra Tribute Show

One of the things I enjoy about being a Barbra Streisand tribute artist is that I get to work with other tribute artists. I have a new show that I'm proud to be part of called, "Barbra & Frank: I've Got a Crush on You". The role of Frank Sinatra is being played by veteran Sinatra tribute artist Patrick Tobin. Our premier is coming up on May 4, 2014. I hope anyone in the northern Connecticut/southern Massachusetts area will check it out!

Barbra Streisand Impersonator Creates Personalized Video Singing Telegrams

)

By far my favorite part of my entertainment business is being a Barbra Streisand tribute artist. There's nothing like performing and singing as Barbra. Most people will never get to actually meet Barbra or even see her in concert, so I provide these folks the opportunity to get a taste of what that might be like.

I now have a new way to share Barbra! Another part of my entertainment business is creating virtual singing telegrams. These are videos that I produce for customers featuring their choice of a gallery of characters to send a special song or message to a friend, work associate or loved one. These videos can be shared via email, Twitter or posted on their Facebook page. For example, if it's your Aunt Mary's birthday you can order a video singing telegram of Barbra.

Rare Barbra Streisand recording of "The Music That Makes Me Dance"

I came across this rare recording of Barbra Streisand in "Funny Girl" on Broadway singing "The Music That Makes Me Dance". This recording is reportedly from her final performance of the show at the Winter Garden Theater.  Despite the less than pristine audio quality (it seems to have been recorded by someone in the audience) Streisand's brilliance shines through. Enjoy!

Rare Video of Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl on Broadway

I was only one year old in 1964 when "Funny Girl" opened on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theater. After falling in love with the film I so wished I had been somehow able to see the Broadway show. Alas, that was impossible. I was thrilled, as I hope you will be, to find that there are some very short and rare video clips of the show.

The Broadway cast album of "Funny Girl" is available for purchase - click here.

Barbra Streisand Working on New "Duets" Album

Playbill.com is reporting that Barbra Streisand is in the beginning stages of creating a followup album to her very successful 2002 "Duets" album.

While a release date is not yet known, rumor has it that artists involved include Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Bette Midler, Yo Yo Ma, Blake Shelton, Michael Bublè, Josh Groban, Usher, Andrea Bocelli, Billy Joel, Beyoncè, and John Mayer. Some slightly surprising additions to this list are Robin Thicke and Lady Gaga,

The full story is available here.

As a Streisand tribute artist, I love working with other tribute artists. I do a show with a Neil Diamond tribute artist and another with a Frank Sinatra. A new "Duets" album is wonderful news for me, as it will give me more possibilities for future shows.  Thanks, Barbra!

Adorable Handmade Barbra Streisand Dolls

While browsing Pinterest boards one day, I came across photos of adorable Barbra Streisand dolls. I did a little digging and was able to contact the craftsman, Dennis Beltran.

While Streisand is a favorite of Beltran, he creates dolls of other celebrities, too.

"Generally new clients see my past work and choose which doll they want from photos," Beltran told me, "but every doll is a one of a kind, so is best to chose what character or film one likes most and thinks would translate well to a doll and we go from there."

Dolls start at $300 plus shipping and typically take about a month to complete. They stand approximately 15" tall and are wired, making them easy to pose.

Discussing the creation process Beltran told me, "I like to send progress shots as I work. I feel it helps people bond better with their dolls and they can give any input or suggestions while the doll is coming to life."

Anyone interested in purchasing a doll can contact Dennis via his Facebook page.
