Joel Silver, the producer of a previously announced cinematic reboot of Gypsy that would star Streisand as Mama Rose, turned up backstage at Streisand’s “Back to Brooklyn” concert Oct. 11 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn holding a huge arrangement of (appropriately) red roses.

When he saw her, they embraced, and he was whisked away to a more private area with his son Sam, who had the honor of Streisand wishing him a happy birthday.
