Comedian/actor/hip-hop singer Jamie Foxx will showcase his musical talents at another Oklahoma arena this summer.

Foxx will perform July 9 at Tulsa’s BOK Center, the venue announced this week.

The Oscar-winning actor and platinum-selling hip-hop performer also will bring his "Intuition Tour" to the Cox Convention Center July 12, the Oklahoma City arena announced last week.

Tickets for both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.

Ticket prices for the Tulsa show are $69.75 and $59.75. Tickets will be available at www.bokcenter.com, Reasor’s stores, Arby’s Box Office at the BOK Center, at Tickets.com, or by phone at (866) 726-5287.

Although he started his Hollywood career as a comedian, Foxx is best known as an actor. He won an Oscar in 2005 for playing Ray Charles in the biopic “Ray”; he currently can be seen in the film “The Soloist” opposite Robert Downey Jr.

But Foxx also has forged a successful music career. He released his third album, “Intuition,” in December 2008 and it debuted at No. 3 on the multi-genre Billboard 200 chart.

It has spun off two hit singles: “She Got Her Own” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. “Blame It” went to No. 1 on the hip-hop chart and is climbing the Billboard Hot 100. His all-star video for “Blame It” features Oklahoma native Ron Howard, Forest Whitaker and Jake Gyllenhaal.
