Audio: Barbra Streisand Talks Siri, Broadway, and Hollywood

After decades in the entertainment industry, Barbra Streisand is still going strong. Currently in the midst of a North American tour, Streisand took a short break to speak with NPR's Scott Simon about her journey from Broadway to Hollywood, and some of the stops along the way-including how she talked Apple into changing Siri's pronunciation.

Barbra's latest creative endeavor is the upcoming album ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway. Pre-order "ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway" at Amazon or Apple Music. The album features international movie stars Hugh Jackman, Jamie Foxx, Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Antonio Banderas, Seth MacFarlane and more and will be available August 26.

When you pre-order now, you get Barbra's single "At The Ballet" featuring Anne Hathaway and Daisy Ridley instantly. Pre-order the album on Barbra Streisand's Music Store and you are automatically entered for a chance to win a pair of tickets to her The Music... The Mem'ries... The Magic! tour in Brooklyn, NY.

Streisand will bring her legendary live performances to 9 cities in August, performing her hits from each decade plus songs from her new album, "ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway," celebrating a career of unparalleled creative achievement. Every ticket purchased online includes a CD of Streisand's new album, which will be released later this year.

The best-selling female recording artist in history, Streisand partners with some of Hollywood's biggest stars to sing Broadway classics on her upcoming album. Following the release of her 2014 record-breaking "Partners," "ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway" is Streisand's third and long-awaited Broadway album. Streisand released "The Broadway Album" and "Back to Broadway" in 1985 and 1993, respectfully, both of which went multi-platinum.
