Michael Urie, known for his portrayal of Marc St. James on the TV series Ugly Betty, currently stars in “Buyers and Cellars,” at the Barrow Street Theatre, in a one-person production where he plays Barbra Streisand* and several other characters. The play imagines life with the great legend actress/singer. The playwright Jonathan Tolins was inspired by Streisand’s coffee table book “My Passion for Design,” which Streisand wrote, and for which she also shot all the photos. (It was published by Penguin Group in 2010.) The book is described  as “a lavishly illustrated personal tour of the great star’s homes and collections,” and according to the book, the mega star turned the basement of her dream home in Malibu, into a mall, housing her vast collection of antiques and collectibles.

Screen Shot 2013-08-11 at 6.55.33 PMAt the outset, making a disclaimer, so as not to anger the real Barbra Streisand, the character Alex Moore emphasizes that the book is real, but all that follows is fantasy. He says the playwright doesn’t want any lawsuits, and wryly makes reference to Streisand’s famous prickly personality, but with a tone that is no less fascinated and in love with the star, and comedic all the same. Alex Moore is hired as the shopkeeper who oversees antiques in Streisand’s cellar and waits for her unannounced visits. And when she does visit, it is as if she were visiting any mall as a stranger, in an understood and improvised exchange.
