5.0 out of 5 stars YOU'LL LOVE IT!
Not just her fabulous voice doing your favorite Broadway tunes "the way they were written to be sung." Now Barbra takes us behind the scenes and makes you feel apart of the whole delicate difficult wonderful 'putting-yourself-out-there' process of Putting It Together! YOU GO GIRL!

3.0 out of 5 stars Studio Footage is Extraordinary! Interview..... Oi !
Barbra so rarely does TV specials that we all ate this up and asked for seconds. However, it's basically a cut-and-paste job. Take some documentary footage of Barbra recording in the studio, paste in a terrible interview (did Babs write those questions herself??), and the SOMEWHERE music video, and call it a TV Special!

I love Barbra and will forgive her anything,...

3.0 out of 5 stars Studio Footage is Extraordinary! Interview..... Oi !, May 9, 1999
This review is from: Barbra Streisand - "Putting It Together" The Making of The Broadway Album [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Barbra so rarely does TV specials that we all ate this up and asked for seconds. However, it's basically a cut-and-paste job. Take some documentary footage of Barbra recording in the studio, paste in a terrible interview (did Babs write those questions herself??), and the SOMEWHERE music video, and call it a TV Special!

I love Barbra and will forgive her anything, but because of the sloppiness, the best part of this special is the recording studio footage. We get to hear a fabulous brassy version of "Can't Help Lovin That Man of Mine" that Streisand didn't use. We get to see her patter her way through "Putting it Together". We see Barbra impatiently direct the orchestra during "If I Loved You".

THE BROADWAY ALBUM was Barbra's crowning return to recording the songs we love to hear her sing. This video is very interesting. Thanks Barbra! But next time, more studio footage and less interview!

5.0 out of 5 stars great video, May 8, 2006

This review is from: Barbra Streisand - "Putting It Together" The Making of The Broadway Album [VHS] (VHS Tape)
if your a barbra streisand fan you must own this video . this is a great video. i loved the somewhere music-video. i think they should release all of barbra streisand's music video's on dvd. barbra streisand made tons of music video's back in the 70's and 80's that were never released on vhs. so i think they should release them on dvd.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!, April 14, 2003
This review is from: Barbra Streisand - "Putting It Together" The Making of The Broadway Album [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I thought there would be more "there" there, but I was sorely disappointed. It was mostly a long interview with Barbra with only some shots of her recording with the orchestra, and even those were interrupted. I was hoping this video would include more of her music and more of her at the recording studio. I was truly disappointed in this and would not really recommend it to Streisand fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much talk, not enough music, January 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Barbra Streisand - "Putting It Together" The Making of The Broadway Album [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I would have liked more of her singing and less talking. Interesting how some of the songs are different here from how they are on the album.

One thing I noticed: there are some parts of the interview where her nails are only done up on one hand and not the other... perfection? Ha ha. I kept wondering if that was done on purpose or if it was because the whole project was rather rushed. The Rosie O'Donnell interview was a better interview (actually, both she did w/her) but the musical sequences are superb. Of course!

A must have for Streisand fans and if not, very interesting on the creative process at work in a music studio. Great music if you love Broadway.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dont bother!, August 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Barbra Streisand - "Putting It Together" The Making of The Broadway Album [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I expected more from Streisand and all I got is a 40 min. video that isnt entertaining at all.If you are going to buy this video buy it only because you will get the chance to see the "Somewhere" music video.
