About the show:
Buyer & Cellar is a one-man play about a struggling actor, Alex More, who gets a bizarre job working in the private, make-believe shopping mall in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu basement, leading to an absurd and funny exploration of fame, celebrity, and loneliness when Streisand herself comes down to play with him. The play, which won a Lucille Lortel Award, features a single actor playing multiple roles, including Alex and the various characters he interacts with, most notably the legendary diva.

What the critics say:

Awards: The play won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show and was named Best Unique Theatrical Experience by the Off-Broadway Alliance.

“It is a seriously funny and remarkably sustained slice of absurdist whimsy on which both Barbra lovers and haters will be sold.” — Ben Brantley of The New York Times

Quotes from the play: 

“It’s a story about the price of fame… and the price of a vintage Beehive doll.”

“One man. One basement. One Barbra.”

“The funniest job interview you’ll ever witness.”
