With a career spanning over 60 years and more than 150 million albums sold, Barbra Streisand is far more than a musical icon.

From her groundbreaking Grammy-winning debut at age 21, to her musicals, films, Broadway recordings, and legendary collaborations, Streisand’s career is a string of enduring hits. The Way We Were celebrates her legacy, featuring beloved songs from the stage, screen, and charts — performed by Melinda, accompanied by a stellar band, backing vocalists, and a live string ensemble.

Don’t miss this musical journey through the extraordinary life of one of the 20th century’s most influential artists and icons.

Beginning her performing career at just three years old, Melinda Schneider has become one of Australia’s most beloved and enduring musical icons. A multi-award-winning singer-songwriter, captivating live performer and natural storyteller, Melinda has been a powerful presence in Australian entertainment for over 40 years.

Best known as one of the country’s most accomplished country artists, the ARIA-nominated and six-time Golden Guitar Awardwinning singer-songwriter has seen her work recorded by John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Paul Kelly.

Melinda’s theatrical concert productions have a track record that speaks volumes. Her tribute to Doris Day, launched in 2011, began with an ARIA chart-topping album and evolved into a national tour, that toured across several years — playing to sold-out audiences at Melbourne’s Her Majesty’s Theatre, Sydney’s Lyric Theatre, and multiple encore performances at the Sydney Opera House.

More recently, her acclaimed productions A Kind of Hush: The Magic of Karen Carpenter (2024), Both Sides Now – Celebrating the Songs of Joni Mitchell (2022), Young At Heart (2016), and Hear Me Roar (2018) continued her tradition of combining iconic musical storytelling with commercial and critical success with sold-out performances in concert halls and theatres nationwide.
