Earlier today, BWW shared a first listen to the Barbra Streisand, Hugh Jackman duet of "Any Moment Now", off her new album ENCORE : MOVIE PARTNERS SING BROADWAY. (Check it out HERE!) Below, watch the video of the epic recording!

"Any Moment Now" is featured in the stage musical SMILE, which was originally produced on Broadway in 1986. Tony Award winner Marvin Hamlisch composed the music with lyrics by Howard Ashman. The musical is based loosely on the 1975 comedy film of the same title, from a screenplay by Jerry Belson.

"'Any Moment Now' was the first song that I chose for this album. Being an actress, I like to sing songs that give me something to act," Streisand explains. "I heard the song and I thought, 'This is a way for me to use actors who act and sing with Broadway material.' So the first person I thought of was Hugh Jackman.'"

Shares Jackman, "When I got the email about it, I literally stared at my phone. My wife, who is the biggest Barbra Streisand fan, she thought something was wrong. I said, 'Read this,' and she read it and she screamed. I was like, 'I don't know how on earth this has happened,' and she goes, 'But you're doing it!' I go, 'Of course I'm doing it!'"

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

The star 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.
