Title: Melody Mendis is "Barbra"
Category: Musical
By: Melody Mendis Music
Created by: Melody Mendis
Location: Crane Theater
Summary: The title says it all - a concert of Barbra's greatest hits by Melody Mendis as the legendary singer.
Highlights: Melody has the look and the voice (singing and speaking) to be Barbra. She sings many of Barbra's most famous songs, including some from Funny Girl, Yentl, and The Way We Were. Between songs she tells us little stories as Barbra about the people she's worked with over the years. While I wish that she were accompanied by a live musician or two rather than a recording that was at times too loud, Melody gives a lovely and convincing performance as Barbra.
