Bennett & Babs stars Broadway veterans Jackie Burns and Joe Cassidy. Eugene Gwozdz serves as music director. Ms. Burns is a bi-coastal actress who holds the title of Broadway's longest running Elphaba in WICKED, as well as being the face of the brand.

Her other Broadway and off- Broadway credits include the Tony Award-winning revival of Hair and Rock of Ages. Mr. Cassidy is a Drama Desk Award-winning actor who has been seen on Broadway, TV, Film, Commercials, Voiceovers, and as a featured soloist with symphonies all over the US and Canada.

Selling over 150 million records worldwide and one of the few who has reached the coveted EGOT status, with five Emmys, ten Grammys, two Oscars and a Tony Award, Streisand is one of the most decorated entertainers of all time. A Kennedy Center Nominee, Bennett has been awarded twenty Grammys, two Emmys and sold over 50 million records worldwide. Presented in the Reid Cabaret on the Mainstage, Bennett & Babs will have you humming along to tunes like "The Lady Is a Tramp," "The Way We Were" and "Don't Rain on My Parade," while you order drinks tableside and enjoy a socially distanced evening. This show is suitable for most audiences.

The Reid Cabaret Theatre productions are now held on the mainstage to allow for social distancing. Audience members sit at tables of 2, 3 or 4, spread out across the stage. Adjustments have been made so that audience members are only sitting with their respective parties, and the number of tables is limited. Performers are spread out across a stage that has been built over the first few rows of the original seats. Staff follow strict sanitary guidelines, including health screenings prior to coming to work, and wearing gloves and face masks. Performances do not have an intermission, and restrooms are closely monitored for capacity and cleaned frequently.
