BARBRA & FRANK Play Downtown Cabaret Theatre Tonight

Barbra & Frank - The Concert That Never Was! is all about Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra. It is unlikely that these two powerhouse voices of the 20th century would have ever shared the same stage...until now! They never worked together, exactly, except when they recorded a duet in separate recording sessions. Barbra & Frank - The Concert That Never Was! will play Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre for three performances (only) tonight, June 28 & the 29th (2013).

However, it's tantalizing to think what it would have been like to have Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra get together for a concert tour. Imagine the possibilities. Who would have been the opening act? Would one have outshone the other? Would their onstage banter have been friendly or a bit snappy. Rapport between these two icons is immediately prevalent. What's On magazine states, "As good as the music is, the banter between the stars is equally memorable."

The stars of Barbra & Frank - The Concert That Never Was! are Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo, two great artists paying tribute to their individual characters, singing the most memorable music and songs ever written.

Sharon Owens' national success has created a whirlwind of Barbra fans waiting to see her famous tribute. Since her success as the winner of the hit television show, "Performing As...", she has been seen on "Access Hollywood," "Extra" and "Entertainment Tonight." She has been performing her "Tribute to Barbra Streisand" to critical acclaim nationwide in major showrooms, for corporate events and as a headliner in Las Vegas as well as in "Legends in Concert" at the Bally's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.

It didn't take long for Sebastian Anzaldo to discover his 'knack for doing Frank,' and he began incorporating it into the shows with his band "Wild Life" to great enthusiasm. Since then, Anzaldo has become one of the top "Sinatra" interpreters in the country. With the voice, looks and mannerisms of 'Ol Blue Eyes, Anzaldo has wowed audiences from coast to coast. As word got out that there was a new 'Chairman' in town, he received a call to star in "The Tribute To The Rat Pack," which eventually led to his current show, Barbra & Frank, The Concert That Never Was! headlining with Sharon Owens as Barbra Streisand.

Together, Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo have garnered such critical praise as "Anzaldohas the Sinatra swagger...he immerses himself in the character," "Owens becomes Streisand to the point that you forget you are watching tribute status" and "Barbra and Frank are vintage Las Vegas. If you want a show that will take you back to the Way We Were...You can't miss this show!"
