Streisand in concert, 2012

There are at least two criteria that one probably uses these days in evaluating the vocal talents of Barbra Streisand: How does she sound in comparison to other major singers, and how does she sound for a 70 year-old woman? Judging from her Friday night concert, the answer, on both counts, is ‘amazing.’ The lady's been a first-tier celebrity for nearly six decades, so it was only natural to wonder if she's now content to coast. But she's rarely sounded better.

LAS VEGAS CONCERT NOTES



  • Celebs in the audience: Morgan Freeman, Rob Lowe, Donny & Marie Osmond, Mike Tyson, Steve Wynn, Frank Marino, Lauren Lopez, Shania Twain.
  • Another big change to the show which stayed in for the rest of the tour: A clip from Funny Girl was played at the top of act two — the dressing room scene where Fanny says goodbye to Nick. Then Streisand rose center stage and sang “My Man.”
  • Some of the Q&A from Vegas: Does Barbra watch reality TV shows? “I prefer fantasy to reality, like Fox News,” eliciting a roar of applause, followed by short-lived boos. “Oh, of course there are Republicans here; they can afford my tickets. You’re all rich; why aren’t you closer?” Will she campaign while in Nevada? “You haven’t seen my PSA or received a robocall from me?” How long will you keep singing? “You mean tonight? There’s still a second act! … I’ll keep singing until my voice goes.”
  • More Q&A: Which movie of yours would you like to see a sequel? “‘The Way We Were.’ We tried for many years, but it never happened. … That would’ve been a wonderful sequel.” Will you sing “Evergreen”? Tonight is our 35th anniversary, and it was our wedding song. (Streisand sang it for the couple in the second act.)
“My Man” added to the second act.
