Me, Myself, and Barbra with Jenna Pastuszek

At 21, Babs spent her evenings singing in hot jazz clubs dressed up in funky thrift store finds. At 21, acclaimed performer Jenna Pastuszek spent her evenings sporting a neon purple bow tie while serving mini kosher hot dogs at bar mitzvahs. Until she met Barbra, and everything changed.

Join us for the Opening Performance of the 2025 Dinner/Concert Series to learn how Barbra’s self-confidence, power, and unique panache inspired a young performer to get out of her own way and embrace her kooky self, weird last name and all. Featuring a dash of Borscht belt comedy and Barbra's early hits, audiences will leave the Mansion feeling like the “luckiest people in the world.”

What They're Saying

 "To say she’s powerful would be an understatement."  -Surflight Theatre 

“Jenna Pastuszek belted hit after hit to the awe-struck patrons. Her
 impressive vocals are truly reminiscent of Barbra Streisand herself. She
 has the musical chops to sing the songs in the way that they were meant
 to be sung.”-Broadway World

 "Needless to say, it takes a phenomenal level of talent to take on the songs
 of Barbra and Jenna has it" -DC Theater Arts

 “The show that Jenna Pastuszek has curated is so thoughtful and tender
 that I found myself on the verge of joyful tears the whole time. Her voice
 is powerful, her stage presence is remarkable. I felt lucky to be part of that
 audience, and as I chatted with fellow guests on the way out, I knew I
 wasn’t alone.” -Overture Center for the Arts
