Color Me Barbra was Barbra Streisand's second television special, broadcast on March 30, 1966 and is, naturally, filmed in color. The first sequence was shot at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with Streisand wandering among the masterworks and antiquities, even singing "Where or When" dressed as Nefertiti. Next she's among a circus of animals, singing "Try to remember" to the elephant or poking fun at herself by telling the anteater "We have so much in common." As with My Name Is Barbra, the final act is her just singing at a mike, with "Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home" and "It Had to Be You." Previously released as part of the five-disc Barbra Streisand: The Television Specials. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbra's First In Living Color, September 1, 2001

By	Kevin Otrhalik "songcabinet" (Paw Paw, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Color Me Barbra [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In her second television special Barbra matched her initial triumph in "My Name Is Barbra." This time the one-woman show was in color and featured Barbra stepping into famous paintings at the Museum of Art in Philadelphia. Once more the camera defies you to take your eyes off of Barbra as she dons various period costumes and sings incredible songs (she is particularly mesmerizing singing "One Kiss").
In the second "act" of the show Barbra cavorts with animals and sings a medley of songs with the word "face" in it. This culminates with a song she sings to her pet poodle "Sadie" (the one the "Funny Girl" Broadway cast gave to her.) "Look At That Face" will raise goosebumps on the back of your neck.
The best portion of the show is the third "act" - a concert filmed in front of a large audience. Barbra gives powerful performances of "Anyplace I Hang My Hat Is Home," and "Starting Here Starting Now." Unfortunately the network "stacked" the audience with some very ardent Barbra fans who got a little too excited, clapped and cheered a little too loudly, slightly marring the soundtrack with their obnoxious over-the-top-enthusiasm. I can't blame them, though. I probably would have done the same.

PBS replayed this special a few years ago. My mom is a fan so I watched it with her. Wow! As a music video, it was years ahead of it's time and MTV. This is Barbara at her best! Color me, "Tickled pink."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Way She Was, January 27, 2005

By	Jeffrey D. Johnson "cleteus" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There seems to be a time in a performer's life when either the life/passion/drive leaves them or else they mature - or is it both...are they the same? After the mid 1970's Barbra Streisand left the world of Artist and became something else...something less vital and less driven by the blood that runs through her.
Thank god for video. If you want to see what all the hoopla was about - see this. This is her frist TV special and BOY is it special. It shows a young, passionate artist who had a voice, a style and a command for every nuance a song could have all rolled up into one awkward yet facinating Barbra. This is a wonderful mixture of comic kookiness, entertainer and pure artist at work. Barbra - please come back!
