Overview

Experience the magic of Melinda Schneider in The Way We Were – a spectacular new concert celebration of Barbra Streisand’s legendary career.   
 
With more than 150 million albums sold and six decades of hits, Streisand stands as one of the world’s greatest performers – a Grammy, Tony, Emmy, and Oscar winner who defined an era.   
 
Starring the incomparable Melinda Schneider, The Way We Were brings Streisand’s timeless songs to life, featuring unforgettable hits from her Broadway beginnings to her iconic film and chart successes. Backed by a stellar live band, rich vocal harmonies, and a string ensemble, this production captures the power, emotion, and glamour of Streisand’s music.   
 
More than a tribute concert, The Way We Were is a moving journey through the songs and stories that shaped a generation – celebrating resilience, creativity, and the brilliance of a woman who broke every barrier to become a global icon.   
 
Don’t miss this stunning musical event that honours one of the most beloved voices of all time. 

Melinda Schneider’s voice is one of a kind.
