When embarking upon her latest album, Encore, icon Barbra Streisand was inspired by one of Broadway's favorite leading men, Hugh Jackman. In her latest interview with 60 Minutes, Streisand discusses how Jackman's voice was the starting point for the album's core concept: creating 'mini scenes' through dialogue and duets with film stars. On the album, Streisand and Jackman sing the previously unproduced 'Any Moment Now' by the late, celebrated composer Marvin Hamlisch. This rendition of the song tells the story of a couple that has reached the breaking point in their marriage, and the video features clips from Streisand and Jackman's recording session for the track.

During the show, the Grammy winner returned to the Winter Garden Theater, where she starred in 1964's FUNNY GIRL, visited Sardi's, walked the theatre district and talked about getting started in the business, her family, and life in Malibu, California. Streisand shares her thoughts on singing and her new album, 'ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway,' which is available now.
