Barbara in the News

Chew the Scene

Barbara Bleier is a dynamo who mesmerizes you as soon as she hits the stage. Her on-point singing and captivating storytelling lure you into her musical journey.

Nightlife Exchange

A consummate actor, but she also brings heart & passion to her lyrics. Bleier soars in a highly personal song about “Carnegie Hall” featuring the unique collaboration of John Bucchino & Michael Feinstein.

Front Row Center

Just about the best thing to cure what ails you...The musical choices were superb and beautifully balanced...

The Villager

Full of piss, vinegar, and maybe even a little jalapeño pepper. If you're older, go and relate. If you're young, go and learn at their feet.

Austin Pendleton and Barbara Bleier are together again with a new show, “Beautiful Mistake” and are we not all the better for it? I don’t know if audiences come to these two for the music (which is out of this world) or just to see them bask in each other’s company. A beautiful evening and the company is worth the trip.

Broadway World

On a spoken intro to "1000 Kisses Deep" by Leonard Cohen, one could practically feel the audience sucked in as if preparing for one collective gasp when she spoke out, "open like a lotus to the heat." And when she followed up this tender number with, "Am I Old Enough for a Younger Man," I think she had won over a strong contingent of the audience.
