Olympic Gymnasts to Perform at Barclays Center

PROSPECT HEIGHTS — Little girls who've been watching Olympic heroes like Gabby Douglas on TV will get a chance to see their idols in person at the Barclays Center this fall.

Two-time gold medalist Douglas and the other members of the U.S. Olympic Women's Gymnastics Team will perform at the new arena on Nov. 18. in the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions, a 40-city tour that pairs "elite gymnastics skill with modern performance art," according to the tour website.

In addition to Douglas, gymnastics fans can expect to see the other members of the "fab five": gold medalists Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross, and McKayla Maroney.

They'll be joined by 2008 gold medalist Nastia Liukin, and male gymnasts John Orozco, Jonathan Horton and Jake Dalton.

Ticket prices range from $37.20 to $89.80 including Ticketmaster fees.

The 18,000-seat Barclays Center is scheduled to open in September with a series of concerts by Jay-Z.
