Editorial Review:

As its title indicates, this 1985 recording marked Barbra Streisand's return to her Broadway roots (significantly, she had dropped her pop-period Guilty perm and returned to straight hair). The CD contains a broad selection of show tunes, from Guys and Dolls's 'Adelaide's Lament' to Sweeney Todd's 'Not While I'm Around.' But let's face it: this may also be one of Babs's most dated albums, due to typically '80s synthesizer-heavy arrangements that simply don't work with the material. Company's 'Being Alive' is scarred by a preening alto sax, while West Side Story's 'Something's Coming' features what sounds suspiciously like syndrums. But--and it's a pretty big 'but'--Streisand sounds more buttery than ever ('Send in the Clowns' may be one of her finest '80s moments), so much so that she often manages to overcome the cheesy production. Now that's a singer. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating:  - WHAT A SINGER!BRAVO, BARBRA STREISAND !!!
The Broadway Album by Barbra Streisand is clearly one of her very best. Barbra really opens up on this album and belts out some of the greatest Broadway show tunes ever written. The sound quality is great and the artwork is very well done.
"Putting It Together" starts the CD with Barbra singing her heart out on this number; she handles difficult tempo and key changes like the great chanteuse she always was and still remains! "If I Loved You" from Carousel features Barbra front and center ... Read More
Rating: - Barbra gives us "something wonderful"!
This is an album that Barbra Streisand famously had trouble making in the 1980s, with her last album, Emotions, performing poorly and the more pop-oriented music getting all the sales.But like only Barbra can, she stuck to her guns and got her album produced and released, only for it to be not only one of her most successful albums, but possibly the best of her discography.
Every song on this album belong here, and not only does Streisand make it her own, but she makes you forget these are ... Read More

C. Kenneth Burkholder, who via an understanding was at the time of the original release of this was Barbra's prospectve father-in-law and whose death has occurred, said of this "If I Loved You", "That's nice."The tragicomic rendition of part of Adelaide fascinatingly points out some dangers of stripping for pay.
Just past the beginning of creating "What Times Are," a musical by (a) pacifist(s) as well as an adaptation of my play "What Time Is It, Neil Armstrong?," which is a sequel to my ... Read More
Rating: - Great !
I bought the CD to replace my worn-out cassette tape, and I was pleased to find it has one more track -- Adelaide's Lament -- which I enjoyed.Nice to have another comic song to balance out the love songs.She brings out the beauty of these lovely tunes.
Rating: - Number one
Barbra is the number one female ballad singer of all time. No one has her range of feeling, the sheer lyric power of her voice, her sometimes exaggerated but often poignant power to dramatically express feeling. She can create the chill down the spine with a small trill or with a wild unexpected crescendo. 'Broadway' is her first home, and acting a song as she sings it comes natural to her.
This is one of her finest albums.
