On Wednesday, October 14, at 12 noon (PDT), the collective work of a passionate group of award-winning musicians and actors, who joined forces to unite their voices to make a difference, will premiere.
I'm writing these words fully aware that there is no opinion I can express in the ensuing paragraphs that will ever have any effect on anyone's decision whether or not to buy tickets for Manilow On Broadway. I don't mean that in a self-effacing manner. I'm also sure that no one ever looked at an ad for Barry Manilow's current concert engagement at the St. James and thought, 'Hmm, this looks interesting but I want to see what Ben Brantley says about it before buying tickets.'
After a brief delay due to illness, MANILOW ON BROADWAY, Barry Manilow's new concert show at the St. James Theatre, opened last night, January 29. BroadwayWorld was there for the special event and you can check out full photo coverage from the curtain call and after party below!
