Barbra Streisand paused during her standing-room-only concert in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center tonight to shine a spotlight on an audience member seated near the stage: Hillary Clinton.
According to a video tweeted by one nearby concertgoer (see below), Streisand gave a full-throated introduction to “our groundbreaking First Lady, senator from New York, Secretary of State, and the winner of our country’s popular vote, Hillary Rodham Clinton!” With husband Bill Clinton next to her, Clinton smiled and briefly stood to wave in acknowledgement of the crowd’s loud ovation.

Broadway For Hillary a Huge Hit!

Normally, after the weekend double-headers, matinees followed by evening performances, Broadway goes dark and takes Monday nights off. That was not the case last night when stars and casts from the shows convened to present a fundraiser for Hillary at the St. James Theatre.  It was a full house for the hottest ticket in town.




What a night it was!  Billy Crystal was the emcee.  Barbra Streisand assisted by phone from the west coast.  Joel Grey reprised his role from Cabaret to welcome the audience.  Both Chelsea Clinton and Bill Clinton shared campaign trail stories.  There were two original Annies to sing Tomorrow.  Every musical selection conveyed the deep meaning and importance of this election.  Actors read cuttings of plays and speeches.  My favorite prefers not to be introduced by her DBE honorific so Crystal welcomed "Sir Helen Mirren" onstage to a huge reception.  She read from a campaign speech by Eleanor Roosevelt.  You can catch some of her performance here.  I am unabashedly biased and so proud of her support for Hillary.

Hillary did not attend as she has been prepping for tomorrow night's debate, but she did appear in a video and thanked everyone - all participants and donors.


You can read some reviews below and see some great photos of the event.

"Ever since I can remember, people have been calling me bossy and opinionated," Barbra Streisand told a crowd at Lincoln Centre on Monday night. "Maybe that's because I am. Three cheers for bossy women!"

The crowd, which included Bill and Hillary Clinton, cheered for pretty much anything connected to Streisand all evening as the star of song and screen was honoured for her film career with the 40th annual Chaplin award from the Film Society of Lincoln Centre.
