Barbra Streisand

On stage 2 productions, 2 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

• Jabara’s biography in the Rocky Horror programme ended with a rather whimsical paragraph: ‘Paul looks like a cross between Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand and Harpo Marx, speaks three languages, loves travelling, Rio de Janeiro is his favourite city, is very lonely, and is dying to fall in love.

• 37 It is curious that when Barbra Streisand decided to include that song in her ‘Broadway Album’ she telephoned Mr Sondheim and requested another B section so she could sing the song in what is known commonly and commercially as a ‘chorus and a half’.

• The now celebrated but then unknown Barbra Streisand made her theatrical debut in I Can Get It forYouWholesale (1962). She had a single song, "Miss Marmelstein." In rehearsal due to lack of experience Barbra did not understand at first that she must "freeze" all direction, that she must practice the precise staging and interpretation arri…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
• Engel's anecdote about Barbra Streisand wanting to do "Miss Marmelstein" her way is instructive. Here's an artist of extraordinary talent and limitless feeling whose instincts aren't necessarily infallible.

• “He’s not a well man,” Miss Marmelstein sang of her boss Mr. Pulvermacher, who was enduring a strike that opportunist Harry Bogen was able to settle.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
