''The Broadway Album'' is a 1985 award-winning album by director, composer, actress and singer Barbra Streisand of classic show tunes. Streisand, who had formerly represented only minor theater composers on her albums, not only chose in this instance to represent more major figures but also to collaborate with one of them. Stephen Sondheim personally penned additional lyrics for the songs "Putting It Together" and "Send in the Clowns" on request of the singer. The album, originally released on the Columbia label and subsequently re-released by Columbia and Sony Records, was a critical and commercial success. First certified gold by the RIAA on January 13, 1986, it reached four times platinum on January 31, 1995.

The album was accompanied by a television special, ''Putting It Together: The Making of the Broadway Album''. In 2002, Columbia rereleased ''The Broadway Album'' with a bonus track. - Wikipedia
