Barbra & Frank
Headliner Shows
It is unlikely that these two powerhouse voices
of the century would have ever shared the same stage…until
now. They never worked together, exactly, except when they taped
a duet in separate recording sessions, but it’s tantalizing
to think what it would have been like to have Barbra Streisand and
Frank Sinatra teamed up for a concert tour. Near the end of the
show, the tuxedoed Sinatra turns to Streisand, who is attired in
a stunning black and white gown, and says dismissively, “Why
don’t you go backstage, take a little rest, and I’ll
close the show.” A moment of silence is followed by Streisand
saying, in the trade mark Brooklyn accent, “Excuse me?”
“Don’t miss it, the best concert that never was.”
