STARRING SHERYL CROW AND FEATURING A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

WHAT: Macys Passport Presents Glamorama 2013 welcomes nine-time Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow to this years event.

Her current chart-climbing hit single, "Easy" is off her forthcoming new album due out this September. To date, Sheryl Crow has sold more than 35 million records worldwide.

Cirque du Soleil has brought wonder and delight to more than 100 million spectators in over 40 countries on six continents. The group of more than 1,000 performers is known for its high-quality artistic entertainment that aims to invoke the imagination and provoke the senses.
