Theater lovers may want to tune into the 2022 Grammy Awards.
A source tells us that Grammy producers have reached out to Barbra Streisand and asked her to perform a tribute to late musical theater great Stephen Sondheim for this January’s show.
*******
Composer and lyricist Sondheim passed away on Friday at age 91. The iconic songwriter was known for “West Side Story,” “Follies,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” “Into the Woods,” and more.
A revival of his show, “Company,” is currently playing Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, and another of his shows, “Assassins,” is playing off-Broadway at the Classic Stage Company.

Let Ga Ga do it
Hope she shits her pants on a high note.
Roseanne Barr would sound better.
Wasn’t she like Mindy’s mom on Mork and Mindy in 1975 or something?
Her makeup will weigh more than she does, for all the good it will do.
What’s a Grammy?
Did she ever sing any of his tunes ???
Why dont they get one of the theatre stars to sings their own songs ???
I’m a bit of a musical theater geek, but no thanks.
No Babs.
No award show.
Blecchh.
She’s a total left wing idiot but she was a good singer in her day. A truly lousy actress, however.
I don’t do politics when it comes to performers because they are almost all left wing idiots. But I respect them for what they’re good at.
She’s good at musicals and has sung Sondheim before. If she picks songs in the right range, this might be a great concert.
The audience is comprised of morons that think rap is a legitimate form of music. But I’m sure that they will be blown away by Babs singing ‘Send in The Clowns’ /s
Really? Who wants to hear her sing?
I realy hate seeing Mel Brooks in drag.
She’s somewhat obnoxious, but I do love her voice.
Streisand, not so much.
she used to be able to act rather well and sing okay too
i don’t know about after all these years? hopefully she is still okay to sing
(her politics are depressing as hell, but she was a pretty good actress)
I have never liked the way Streisand sings. Yes, she had a lovely voice back in the day, but she almost always over emoted on every song. I just never liked her style.
No, thanks. I will continue to shun this garbage.
zero chance of me watching this
Her voice is NOT what it used to be. And I’m not saying that for any political reason. It just isn’t. She’s getting old.
Not if that idiot Streisand is singing.
