Barbra
Streisand
has
added
four
additional
concert
dates
to her
upcoming
tour,
it was
announced
today,
including
performances
in
Toronto
and
Montréal.
Her
concert
return
to
Canada
will
be her
first
since
1961,
when
she
was
the
featured
headliner
at the
"Town
'n
Country"
supper
club
in
Winnipeg.
The
new
dates
are:
Oct 6

OH),

and
Oct 24
(St.

Closely

The
last
time
she
played
Phoenix,
Arizona
(well,
Tempe,
actually),
Barbra
was in
the
midst
of
shooting
her
smash
hit
film,
"A
Star
Is
Born."
Perhaps
as an
homage
to her
legendary
concert
appearance
at
Arizona
State
University
back
in
1976,
Barbra
and
her
promoters
have
decided
to
include
a
concert
at the
US
Airways
Arena
in
Phoenix
as
part
of her
North
American
tour,
kicking
off
next
month.
The
concert,
scheduled
for
November
16
will
surely
evoke
memories
of the
massive
1976
concert,
which
was
organized
for
and
included
in
several
scenes
of "A
Star
Is
Born."
Back
then,
once
the
actual
film's
scenes
were
completed,
Barbra
took
to the
stage
as
herself
and
thrilled
thousands
of
extras
with a
performance
that
included
several
of her
signature
hits.
"A
Star
Is
Born"
and
the
Tempe
concert
both
turned
30
this
year.
So it
is
only
fitting
that
Barbra
should
return
to
Phoenix
to
mark
the
occasion.
Detroit Gets Axed, Lagging Sales Cited
September
22,
2006
In a surprising move, promoters for Barbra's upcoming tour
have announced the cancellation of Barbra's October 18
performance in Detroit. A lagging box-office was the reason
given for this disappointing turn of events. The demise of
the Detroit show had been rumored ever since Barbra added a
second concert date in Toronto. Promoters are offering a
financial travel incentive to Detroit ticket holders who
decide to go to one of the shows in either Columbus or
Toronto. The offer of good will will surely ease the
frustration of Barbra's many Motown fans.
