EVERYONE LOVES BUYER & CELLAR!
"A great show! Deconstructs Streisand's fantasy world in a brilliant exegesis of her films and career. Of course this has more to do with fame, fantasy, entertainment, and persona than it does with the actual Streisand, and that's what elevates it above a witty take on the idea of the public persona." -James Franco
