Odds & Ends: Barbra Streisand's Broadway Encore, Lin-Manuel Miranda & Adam Pascal Duet in #Rent4Ham & More

Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today.

Barbra Streisand's Broadway Encore
It’s as if Barbra Streisand never said goodbye to the Great White Way! The legendary star will release a duets album, Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, later this year. Streisand has also announced a new tour, which is scheduled to kick off on August 2 at L.A.’s Staples Center and run through August 23 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. The honorary Tony winner is set to play August 11 and August 13 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. No word yet on who has been tapped to appear on the record with Streisand, but we can think of a three-time Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner who would jump at the chance.

Now Megan Hilty Will Sing for Queens
2016 Tony nominee Megan Hilty is set to team up with the previously reported Matthew Morrison for a concert with the New York Pops. Under the musical direction of Steven Reineke, the performance is scheduled for July 7 at the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, N.Y. We're sure it will be smashing.

CBS Enlists Steven Pasquale
Congratulations to stage and screen favorite Steven Pasquale—Doubt, the pilot he starred in opposite Katherine Heigl, has received a series order from CBS. Variety reports that the show follows a hotshot defense lawyer who falls for her charming client, who could be responsible for a brutal crime. You can catch Pasqaule off-Broadway in The Robber Bridegroom through May 29.

The stage and screen vet is set to step into the West End cast of Guys and Dolls as Nathan Deroit, taking over for Richard Kind. Lindsay will play a limited engagement May 26 through June 26; Kind’s final performance is scheduled for May 22.
