The Acorn Theater in Three Oaks, Michigan Presents an encore performance of "Simply Barbra", Starring Steven Brinberg. One Show only. Thursday, October 13th at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $20.00 available at www.acorntheater.com

With a sell out crowd last year, it took a whole year to rebook Steven back at the Acorn; with his appearances from Australia to New York, from London to Seattle with Marvin Hamlisch, "Simply Streisand" has been seen and heard across the globe.

Slick, polished and professional: that would fit Ms Barbra Streisand, and also Steven Brinberg's wicked impersonation of her. Using her vocal style and mannerisms and range, Brinberg brings the feel of an intimate concert with the lady herself to the stage.

From the opening number until the final curtain, Brinberg is scarily accurate in capturing the idiosyncrasies of the famous lady. His vocals can be spot-on as a direct impersonation. Interspersing the songs with dialogue in Streisand's own style, with comments about places she has been, her husband and family, and concerts and films she has acted in, the evening is true entertainment.

Brinberg has appeared as Streisand alongside Marvin Hamlisch and has performed as Streisand at a birthday party for Donna Karan. Brinberg impersonates a series of other singers all of whom seem to have recorded the same track, "Alfie". Treat yourself and your special someone to Simply Striesand as we celebrate the birth week of Streisand herself as this legendary star plays Acorn Theater one-night-only to serenade fans.

"When you first hear Steven's Simply Barbra CD, for the first brief moment, you almost think, 'My God! Is that really her?' [Streisand] It's so captivating! Not only does he have a wonderful take on her -- not at all mean-spirited -- and this ability to imitate her, he also captures a lot of moments and nuances that are terrific. It was very impressive." -- Marvin Hamlisch
