’s Aug. 3 concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden was significant not just because it was her first time on the arena’s stage in 13 years, but, as she told an enraptured crowd of many thousands, because she spent some of her most formative time blocks away. Yes, these were “misty water-colored memories,” she serenaded, in between slideshows of personal photos, such as the time, at 18, when she won a talent competition at the Lion, a downtown gay nightclub.
Streisand soaked in all the love, and toasted the crowd, too with a voice-preserving cup of tea: “May we all be as wonderful as our dogs think we are; my three are in my dressing room,” she said of her beloved Miss Fanny, Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett.why she gets stage fright: she’s scared of letting the public down. She doesn’t know if her voice can live up to the high expectations, the fantasy of what people imagine for it to be.
There’s probably no hope that Streisand will ever return to Broadway, though she proved that she could with “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from “Funny Girl.” Streisand said that she’d wanted to close her musical career with the role of Mama Rose in a big-screen adaptation of “Gypsy,” which fell apart a few years ago. “I could see the whole movie,” Streisand lamented. “I made an eight-minute film to prove my vision could work.
