Barbra Streisand To Present At 2016 Tony Awards

NEW YORK (AP) — Barbra Streisand will take the stage at this month's Tony Awards for the first time in 46 years.

The singer and actress, who was a Tony nominee in 1962 for "I Can Get It for You Wholesale" and in 1964 for "Funny Girl," hasn't graced Tony night since 1970, when she got a special Tony.
