By:

"Assuming you don't want to  mortgage your house to catch a Barbra Streisand Concert--  Steven Brinberg singing live as Simply Barbra is the next best thing"
according to the London Times.

New York Two-Time Mac and Bistro Award Winner Steven Brinberg brings his show Simply Barbra back to Rising Action Theatre.

Reviews of his show include:

"The musical mimicry is amazing." Daily News

"Wickedly good fun." New York Post

"Scintillatingly funny, unnervingly accurate. A touchingly true tribute to the towering talent (and ego) of Barbra Streisand. A genuinely original show that is brilliantly scripted and beautifully performed." This is London
