Barbra Streisand to Harper’s Bazaar, “Instead of just storing my things in the basement, I can make a street of shops and display them.” Taking that fact, and the fictional character of Alex (of course he’s a struggling actor!) who becomes the only employee of these “shoppes’—plus  a frozen yogurt machine--we join him in his day job as he awaits the “Funny Girl” herself to check out. That’s when we find out the true price of fame.

“Frothy and hilarious, satisfyingly seasoned with treachery, bitchery, idolatry, and punctured celebrity hero-worship.“ -The New Yorker
