July 31 Concert Shifts From Hollywood Bowl to Great Western Forum
July 17, 2000 - LA Times
Pop singer Britney Spears has canceled her July 31 Hollywood Bowl concert and replaced it with concerts at the Great Western Forum on July 30 and 31. Holders of Bowl tickets may exchange them for comparable seats at either Forum concert at the point of purchase. After Thursday, the exchange becomes nonexclusive and subject to availability, with remaining seats going on sale to the public on Friday.
According to the concert's promoter, Andrew Hewitt and Bill Silva Presents, Spears requested the change because the Bowl could not accommodate some production elements she has added to the show since the start of her tour. Rick Stuart, production manager for the promoter, said the elements involved Spears "flying" over the stage and a simulated bedroom set.
Britney Spears Cancels Denver Show
July 15, 2000 - Denver, AP
Oops! Britney Spears has canceled a sold-out show because the production apparently is too big for the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheater. The world-famous venue that has played host to dozens of major acts, including the Beatles.
"We did everything possible to prevent the show from canceling," promoter Chuck Morris said Friday. "Telling my 7-year-old daughter that Britney wasn't coming was the hardest thing I have had to do all year." Fans snatched up more than 9,000 tickets for the July 26 concert in less than an hour when they went on sale in February.
Spears' current 50-date tour, "Oops! ... I Did It Again," has been one of the summer's hottest, featuring an elaborate set with movable platforms, giant props and a special-effects-laden video.
* Ticket refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Britney to launch kids' playroom at Shriners
July 7, 2000
BY BILL ZWECKER SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST
Before her concert at the World Music Theatre in Tinley Park tonight, Britney Spears will launch the first of her signature hospital playrooms at Chicago's Shriners Hospital for Children. Co-sponsored with the Starlight Children's Foundation, the pop sensation eventually will dedicate similar facilities in health care centers around the nation.
The Starlight Children's Foundation Britney Spears Room at Shriners will be a recreation area geared to adolescent patients--a diversion for sick kids coping with the stress of illness and the loneliness of long hospital stays. They will be strictly off-limits for medical procedures.
* In a related Britney bit, we've learned 2gether, the spoof boy band that includes Kevin Farley (an alum of our ImprovOlympic and Second City touring company and brother of the late comic Chris Farley) will open for Spears on a few July and August dates in California. Their new MTV series is slated to debut Aug. 15.
