Steve Brinberg is the man behind the one woman show which incorporates remarkably recognizable vocal inflections as well as signature body language. Its not easy for a man to sing in a woman's register for 90 minutes, but to do so AND sound so much like Babs was really commendable. Included in the favorites performed were "Papa Can You Hear Me?", "The Way We Were", "Evergreen", "Send In The Clowns", "Happy Days Are Here Again", "Tomorrow", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", and of course "Rain On My Parade".
'Barbra' introduced each song with a little background story, most of which were likely clever fabrications but humorous none-the-less, and also lovingly poked fun at some of her own personality traits.
It is easy to over-do it when impersonating celebrities but "Simply Barbra" was simply divine!
