Hi Everyone,
This month’s ManilowTV is the complete version of our show at Paris Las Vegas that we did from 2010 to 2011.
It was the most beautiful show we had ever done.
I created it with the genius Jeffrey Hornaday and his brilliant team of magicians.
It was the most complicated and technical show I’d ever been involved in. And expensive!! Holy Mackerel!
But it was gorgeous. I’m sure you’ll agree when you see this video.
The only problem was that I couldn’t change anything. I was locked into the same production every night because even one minor change would cause havoc.
Coming from five years at the Las Vegas Hilton where I could change songs, dances, jokes, insert medleys, and rearrange the set of songs, I was shocked that I had let it happen.
The audiences loved the Paris show. Standing ovations night after night. I could hear “oohs and ahhs” each time the (expensive!) scene would change.
But I sure did learn a lesson from that experience.
Make the show beautiful, but not so complicated that it can’t change when we feel like it.
I’m so happy with our new and gorgeous show at Westgate. And you can be sure I’ll be using that stage as my “sandbox” again and changing things around when the spirit moves me.
Enjoy this gorgeous (and expensive!!) Paris show this month.
Love,
Barry

As you might know, we’re heading for another run on Broadway, this time at the sensational Lunt-Fontanne theater.
And by coincidence, the video we found was closing night...

May 24, 2014Hi Everyone,
This month’s video goes all the way back to… two months ago - May 2014!
It’s not a video that I would exactly call “from the archives”, but it IS in the archives now and it’s a show that we’ve gotten lots of response about.
This month...

August 27, 2011Hi Everyone,
Here’s a show that I remember vividly.
We were touring the middle of the country for a handful of shows in 2011 and bringing a full orchestra with us.
This wonderful orchestra filled with talented musicians were based out of Youngst...
