It takes a special kind of nerve to try and match Barbra Streisand’s voice. But in January 2026, the Hayes Theatre in Elizabeth Bay took a massive risk by putting four different women on stage to share the load in the show called “Barbra: The Greatest Star”. This professional production is currently playing its strictly limited season. It is a high class concert that treats the music like gold.
Brittanie Shipway is the director and one of the stars at the lovely theater on Greenknowe Avenue. The show is a breezy 75 minutes with no interval which makes it a perfect night of pure glamour. This special event will likely end by mid February 2026. The music makes the audience feel like they are part of a rare New York ballroom party.

One viewer said the vocal talent on that stage is almost too much to handle. Another fan noted that they simply love the old Broadway style reflected in the show. The singers do not just sing the notes.
To see the magic these women are chasing, you have to go back to the source. It is the moment Barbra Streisand looked the world in the eye and made a promise. She was not a legend yet. She was just a girl with a voice and a dream that was too big to hide.
In this famous performance, she proves she is the greatest star before the song even ends.
