Liza Pulman - singer, actress and one third of the legendary Fascinating Aida - will perform her acclaimed tribute to Barbara Streisand at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds this November.
‘Liza Sings Streisand’ will feature new arrangements of such classic songs as ‘The Way We Were’, ‘Second Hand Rose’, ‘You Don’t Bring Me Flowers’ and many more.
Liza explains how the show came about: “A couple of years ago, one of my Fascinating Aida colleagues needed some time off to recover from an illness, and this break seemed like the perfect opportunity to develop my own show. One of the songs I sang in that was ‘Evergreen’ from the film ‘A Star Is Born’. So many people told me I sounded like Barbra Streisand and I realized she has been such a huge influence on me - so I wanted to celebrate that somehow.”
When asked if this is a tribute show, Liza replies: “Well, I pay tribute to her but it’s by no means a tribute show. I don’t do an impersonation of her or put on a curly wig at any point! For me, it’s a chance to honour this extraordinary woman by singing just a handful of some of the songs that she’s made famous throughout her long and glorious career.”
“An evening of sparkling entertainment… the sound of Streisand with a delicious slice of Liza.”
Daughter of screen writer Jack Pulman (I Claudius, War and Peace) and actor Barbara Young (Last of The Summer Wine, Coronation Street), Liza was always going to have a strong creative streak.
“There was a brief period where I fancied being a vet (not long after my goldfish, Felicity Fruit-Cake, died from unnatural causes) but the performing gene was always going to get me in the end,” she says. “I always sang as a kid. My mum and my sister and I would sing close-harmony on long car journeys and my sister and I sang together for years as ‘The Pulman Sisters’, singing music from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
“We started out just singing at our parents’ parties but ended up singing in the foyers of the National Theatre and the Royal Festival Hall. We were good. We made a great sound, like only siblings can. Then I went to The Guildhall School of Music and Drama where I studied singing for six years, before joining Glyndebourne where I spent several years as a junior principal. It was a pretty amazing start.”
Alongside more than two decades with the hit show, Fascinating Aida, Pulman has also built an acclaimed solo career, reimagining classic songs and rediscovering overlooked gems.
This latest show has played London’s West End to packed houses and five-star reviews, and is a celebration of this legendary performer’s life and music, told with Liza’s unique brand of warmth, humour and compelling story-telling.
Liza Sings Streisand is at The Apex, Bury St Edmunds on 9 November 2026.
