There just aren’t enough superlatives in the universe to describe the iconic entertainer simply known as “Barbra,” but the L.A. Times comes close, remarking during her last tour that she “isn’t just a star — she’s a world view, a style of being, an entire cosmology, with the highest possible thread-count sheets.” And now she’s bringing The Music … The Mem’ries … The Magic! to Chicago’s United Center. The best-selling female recording artist in history and the only artist to chart a No.1 album in six different decades, Streisand’s upcoming tour will feature hits from her unparalleled career, as well as cuts from her forthcoming CD, which features duets of Broadway favorites with some of today’s top film stars. Streisand received the highest civilian honor our nation bestows, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2015, to go along with her Kennedy Center Honor, Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, Tony and Peabodys. If you’ve never caught this legend live in concert, now’s your chance to experience the out-of-this-world wonder that is … simply Streisand. Each ticket you purchase includes a CD of Barbra’s new album Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, to be released on August 26.  Tickets to her August 9 performance at The United Centre are now available on Goldstar.
