Barbra Streisand, the singular entertainer and feminist icon, will release a new album this year. And she’s also taking her legendary pipes on the road this summer, marking her sixth decade in show business. Streisand will visit nine cities, including her native Brooklyn for two nights where adoring Barbra fans will note that she never left her accent behind, nor her prized Brooklyn attitude. Streisand last played Brooklyn when the Barclay’s Center was new in 2012 — and there was Streisand madness throughout the borough.
Here are the nine cities that get a dose of Babs-apalooza this summer:
- Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA: August 2
- SAP Center, San Jose, CA: August 4
- T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, NV: August 6
- United Center, Chicago, IL: August 9
- Barclays Center — Brooklyn, NY: August 11 & 13
- TD Garden, Boston, MA: August 16
- Verizon Center, Washington, DC: August 18
- Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA: August 20
- Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON, CA: August 23
