Fans of the iconic singer and actress Barbara Streisand will have the opportunity to hear her music live in the Lakes, thanks to singer and comedienne Liza Pulman.
Lize will be playing a date in Ambleside next month as part of her latest tour celebrating the life and music of one of the American star.
The final five tour dates for Liza Pulman Sings Streisand have been announced and features dates in Ambleside and Blackpool this November. The tour will also visit venues in Winchester, Poole and Radlett.
Liza will be joined by her six-piece band to celebrate her idol through her hugely successful and critically acclaimed five-star show.
Liza Pulman Sings Streisand will perform at Zeffirellis in Ambleside on Friday 8 November 2019 as part of the Inward Eye Film Festival, before heading to the Grand Theatre in Blackpool on Saturday 9 November 2019.
Liza says: “I formed my amazing six-piece band a few years ago and we toured our first show, Songs Of Hollywood. The programme included Evergreen from the film A Star Is Born, and so many people told me I sounded like Barbra Streisand. I was so flattered – and it was something I wanted to explore further and celebrate.
“Barbra Streisand has been such a huge influence on my singing and on my approach to music. It’s been an incredible 18 months touring Liza Pulman Sings Streisand, a real honour and privilege bringing this legendary performer’s wonderful songbook to the stage once again. It’s been a very special experience and one I will always treasure.”
After completing the tour, Liza plans to return to comedy and head back to the stage as one-third of the satirical trio, Fascinating Aida. Liza is already busy writing material with her Fascinating Aida co-stars Dillie Keane and Adele Anderson. Their new show launches in December and runs for four weeks at
Liza’s musical theatre credits include Adrian Noble’s award-winning production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium with Michael Ball in 2002, and the UK tour of Doctor Dolittle with Philip Schofield. In 2004, Liza joined the internationally renowned comedy trio Fascinating Aida – and 15 years later she remains one third of the act.
Liza comes from a talented, traditional showbusiness family. Her father was screenwriter Jack Pulman, known for writing I Claudius and War and Peace. While her mother is actress Barbara Young, who has appeared in Last Of The Summer Wine, Coronation Street, and began in Theatre Workshop.
