BroadwayWorld.com learned the set list for tonight's MusiCares event. We've learned that tonight's event is breaking all records with tonight's tribute to the 2011 Person of the Year - Barbra Streisand. All this week, some of the most talented and awesome musicians, actors and singers have been coming and going to the convention center in downtown Los Angeles, right next door to the Staples Center where the Grammys will be on Sunday evening.

The set list, that BroadwayWorld received looks very exciting and if you go to Grammy.com, you will see the red carpet and we will try to get you as much coverage as we can. We hear that the atmosphere has been very fun and informal and that all the artists performing are pretty much in awe of the star being honored.

Streisand is scheduled to have a half hour at the end of the show. The event has been totally sold out and is one of the hottest tickets in town with the list of attendees reading like a "Who's Who" of the music industry. At a sit down dinner, there's a silent auction, a live auction and special items that the artists performing have been signing all week, including instruments, microphones, recordings and amazing memorabilia from the collective careers of all those in the building tonight.

Here's to Barbra!

followed by: Barbra Streisand herself!

  • Medley of 'Happy Days Are Here Again', 'The Way We Were', 'What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?', 'Evergreen', 'I Finally Found Someone' and ending with 'Happy Days Are Here Again'
  • 'Make Someone Happy'
  • 'The Windmills of Your Mind' 
  • 'I'll Never Say Goodbye'

The last two songs are from her upcoming album of songs by Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

Barbra Streisand will also perform at this year's Grammy Awards, alongside other big acts including Mick Jagger and Gwyneth Paltrow. The Grammys will air on Sunday, February 13th on CBS. 

Streisand has appeared on Broadway in I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE and FUNNY GIRL. Her film work includes FUNNY GIRL, FUNNY LADY, YENTL, and NUTS. She has won numerous awards including the Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy awards. Her first book,  "My Passion for Design: A Private Tour" debuted on the NYT Bestseller List. Barbra's 63rd album, "Love Is The Answer" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), just months after debuting at #1 on the Billboard Charts. This brings the number of gold albums awarded to Barbra to 51. Additionally, Barbra is the recipient of 30 platinum albums and 13 multi-platinum albums. A DVD recording of Barbra Streisand's performance at the Village Vanguard on September 26, 2009 was released last May.
