Its Barry Manilow time!!
Manilow will return to the St James Theatre in January. Previews will begin on January 18 and penning night is January 24. “Manilow on Broadway” will run until February 9th.
This isn’t a new thing, Barry has done Broadway before. Barry Manilow on Broadway, played from December 21, 1976 to January 2, 1977. He returned with Barry Manilow at the Gershwin from April 19 to June 10, 1989.
"Manilow is returning to the place where it all began, his hometown, New York City, with a new concert series on Broadway – marking his return to The Great White Way for the first time in more than two decades." Said the shows producers.
Manilow added "Growing up in New York, Broadway has always held a special place in my heart and I am honored to have the opportunity to make the St. James Theatre my home in the New Year."
We often forget icons such as Manilow are really New Yorkers. Having been around forever he has a trunk full of massive hits and all time standards. The homecoming of sorts is always a sell out and from what I can see consistently gets rave reviews.
Tickets go on-sale for Citibank cardholders on October 22 and to the general public on October 29.
