OSCAR'S Downtown Palm Springs, will present "Barbra & Liza Live!," starring Steven Brinberg ("Simply Barbra") and Rick Skye ("A Slice O'Minnelli"), on Friday, October 11th, 2024. After sell-out shows in London and Dublin, Brinberg and Skye are celebrating these two icons together for the first time in Palm Springs. With musical director Christopher Marlowe, the pair will perform the Broadway and movie hits of these incandescent stars in an unmissable night of music and comedy. Tickets are $30-$50. Oscar's Downtown Palm Springs is located at 125 East Tahquitz Canyon Way, #108, Palm Springs, California.

Steven Brinberg updates "Simply Barbra" annually as the show travels the globe. The first show began in Brinberg's native New York where it ran for three years and has since played across the US, in London's West End, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sydney, Melbourne, Barcelona, Bangkok, Puerto Vallarta, and Toronto (more cities than the real Barbra). Steven spent 11 years touring with Marvin Hamlisch and his symphony orchestra as a special guest star. Stephen Sondheim requested his appearance at his birthday concert at the Library of Congress. Terrence McNally wrote narration for him to read as Barbra at a concert at Lincoln Center. He has also performed at special events for such notables as Donna Karan, Joan Rivers, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Liza Minnelli. "Simply Barbra" has earned two MAC Awards, a Bistro Award and was nominated for a Robby Award for theatre and cabaret in Los Angeles. Brinberg has released two albums, Simply Barbra: Live in London, and Simply Barbra: The Duet Album, featuring Kaye Ballard, Mimi Hines, Debbie Gravitte and Karen Mason.
