Ticketmaster revealed today the addition of a new stopover on Streisand's tour. Barbra will have the distinction of performing in a National Historic Landmark when she takes the stage at the renowned Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 4.

Boardwalk Hall has played host not only to The Miss America Pageant, but also a multitude of entertainment legends such as Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and more recently, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Bette Midler.

In 1964, Boardwalk Hall was the site of the National Democratic Convention where Lyndon B. Johnson was nominated for his first full term as president. Barbra was a performer that evening.

The announcement of an added performance in Atlantic City will no doubt be cheered by Barbra's fans in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas, providing them with an additional local option to see Barbra in concert.

This will mark a return to Atlantic City for Barbra, who was a headliner during the 1964 Democratic convention which nominated President Lyndon Johnson to his first full term as president following the assassination of JFK one year earlier.

Barbra was also honored in Atlantic City in 1996. Coinciding with the release of The Mirror Has Two Faces, Barbra was given the ShowEast Filmmaker of the Year award, an honor bestowed by movie theatre owners. Barbra did not attend in person, but her video taped acceptance speech was shown during award ceremonies at the Trump Taj-Mahal.

American Express presale for the Atlantic City performance begins at 9 AM on June 20, with general public sales commencing at 10 AM on June 26.
