BOSTON. CONCERT NOTES

  • Note that Barbra played with the song order in Boston.  “Music of the Night” was moved to the first act; she dropped “Don't Rain On My Parade” from the Funny Girl section; she opened Act Two with “When the Sun Comes Out”; and Barbra did not perform “Smile” as an encore in Boston.
  • Sen. John Kerry — sans Teresa — slipping into his center floor seat after the lights went down . . . Gubernatorial wannabe Deval Patrick pressing the flesh on the floor during the Demmie lovefest’s intermission . . . Streisand’s hubby, actor James Brolin, cheering on his Funny Girl from third row, center . . . Mayor Tom Menino and wife, Angela, heading backstage . . . Senate President Bob Travaglini glad-handing before the Like Buttah One took the stage at the TD Banknorth Garden . . . “Game Plan” PR guy David Linck and wife, Rose, celebrating their anniversary . . . Jeweler-to-the-stars Donna DePrisco admiring Babs’ baubles . . . Travel and sports titan Steve Belkin and wife, Joan, getting verklempt in their primo seats . . . (Boston Herald Review)
  • [She was] very relaxed and mentioned her early visits [to Boston] for Funny Girl and I Can Get It For You Wholesale tryouts. She also related her time at Frolics in Revere Beach in 1963 and how they had dancing chorus girls just like in the movie Funny Girl. (Jeffrey B.)
  • During the build-up for “Happy Days Are Here Again,” Barbra said that she hopes that she can sing it again in 2007 “For real, real, real. Right, John?” She was addressing John Kerry, who was in attendance. (Shawn) 
  • Barbra enjoyed fried clams while in Boston and “loves fried clams” [she and Jim stopped in Ipswich, Massachusetts – a seafood haven and home of the "Ipswich clam"] (Shawn)
  • Barbra recalled a particular dessert at Durgin Park that she had enjoyed while in Boston during previous performances. (Shawn)
  • In her question/answer segment, she received a question from a Rhode Island woman who offered Barbra an opportunity to check out her selection of Stickley Furniture. Barbra responded that she had a piece of Stickley, but concentrated on a certain period of history in her furnishings, and that she was working on a green room in her house, but if she ever needed further Stickley items, she'd call her.
