Barbra Streisand’s unusual coffee table book “My Passion for Design” gives the reader an unprecedented look into her lavish beachfront home, where she built an underground village of stores below her barn to showcase her vast collection of antiques, dresses, dolls and various other tchotchkes.
Like a small scale Disneyland, the diva can literally shop for her own things in the privacy of her own home.
Rumor has it that for parties, Babs pays a street musician to play his one-man-band in her basement village.
Today we’re joined by actor Michael Urie, best known for playing Marc St. James on the TV series Ugly Betty. Michael is now starring in Buyer & Cellar, a one man show that takes us on an imaginary journey of an actor hired to work as a store clerk in Barbra Streisand’s underground basement village.
Like last year’s masterpiece the TomKat Project, Buyer and Cellar is a celebrity driven show that humanizes celebrities while at the same time poking fun at tabloid culture. We urge you to go see it, it’s the best show we’ve seen so far this year.
Listen as Michael Urie takes us in depth into Barbra Streisand’s peculiar home and her obsession with her possessions, working with Vanessa Williams on Ugly Betty and what it was like to be the first openly gay actor playing a gay central character on a prime time TV show.
