The legendary Barbra Streisand set to appear at Tony Awards

Iconic singer and actress Barbra Streisand is set to return to the Tony awards for the first time since 1970 as a presenter this summer

The ceremony, which will be hosted by Tony Award-winner James Corden, is confirmed to take place at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Sunday, June 12 and Streisand has joined the line up of presenters.

Other presenters on the night will include Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Carole King, Audra McDonald, Saoirse Ronan, Patina Miller and Nathan Lane. 

As previously reported, Streisand will be releasing an autobiography in 2017 about her life and career. A spokesperson from publishing house Viking told press: 

"Barbra Streisand's memoir is the entertainment story that has been on the top of every publisher's wish list for years. There are over fifty unauthorised biographies about Ms Streisand that are full of myths and inaccuracies, and she is finally going to tell her own story."
