Barbra Streisand Adds 2nd Toronto Show Oct. 20

Fans who missed out on tickets for the diva's Oct. 17 show can now try to catch her on Oct. 20 at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.

Streisand's Oct. 17 show sold out in a mere 30 minutes when tickets went on sale last month. The concert dates, also featuring the operatic boy band Il Divo, will mark Streisand's first time performing in Toronto.

A star for over four decades, Streisand received Tony nominations for her Broadway debut I Can Get It For You Wholesale and for her star-making turn as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl (she would receive a Star of the Decade, Hall of Fame Tony in 1970). Streisand would go on to recreate the role on film for a 1969 Oscar (she tied with Katharine Hepburn that year). She was also nominated for her performance in The Way We Were. She received another Oscar for co-writing "Evergreen" for A Star is Born and was similarly nominated for "I Finally Found Someone" from The Mirror Has Two Faces. Other film credits include Hello, Dolly!, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, What's Up, Doc?, Funny Lady, Nuts and Yentl. She has also produced several of her movies.

The winner of multiple Grammy Awards, Streisand has sold many millions of records, with 50 of them gold and 30 platinum. She is also the only artist to have Billboard #1 albums spanning four decades--the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. Her many albums include "Guilty," "Duets," "Higher Ground," "Memories," "Lazy Afternoon," "The Broadway Album" and "The Movie Album." In addition to her Tony, Oscars and Grammys, Streisand has won five Emmys, eight Golden Globes, two ASCAP Film and Television Awards, as well as the American Film Institute Award.

Tickets ranging from $85 to $550 go on sale Sept. 12 at 10 AM ET. There will be a six ticket limit per person. Streisand will also perform in Montreal on Oct. 15.
