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.

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.

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

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.

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.
