Thank you!
What a wonderful week to be in New York!
The Rangers won the Stanley cup, right here at the garden
The Yankees are in first place, The Knicks came this close, and is so great to be here during the "gay games"!
Because for once I can walk around the city without being recognized. you know?
There are enough guys in town who impersonate me that w'm out on the streets, nobody thinks it's really me...
Today I was walking up Broadway and a woman said to her husband: "Look, it's Barbra Streisand!" and her husband said: "Will yop it already, that's the tenth one today, this one is not even close!"
This is... this is the city that means most to me in my tour, because it's my home...
I was born and raised here... (int Ted)... pardon me... oh, welcome home did you say, thank you, thank you!
Yes, the last time I did a concert here in New York, it was Central Park twenty-seven years ago... so, a lot has happened since then...

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
