| May 21, 2018 | Las Vegas Sun | "Barry’s back: Manilow begins new Westgate show this week" by Brock Radke |
|---|
| I’m a fan of R&B and hip-hop. I grew up listening to Prince and Michael Jackson, memorized Snoop Dogg’s first album in high school and immersed myself in Nirvana and Radiohead in my 20s. Classic soul, heavy metal, indie rock, you name the genre, I’ve dabbled - and enjoyed all of it. I’m sure you’ve done the same. But what was your first music? The first record I can remember listening to -- yes, vinyl -- was “This One’s for You” by Barry Manilow, which he released in 1976, the year I was born. I’d sit on the floor in front of my parents’ stereo and listen to “Daybreak” and “Looks Like We Made It.” First music. I’m not the only one whose pop music consciousness is founded on Barry Manilow. And I’m not the only person to explain that to Barry Manilow. “I couldn’t be happier that my music has withstood time and had that kind of impact on people,” says Manilow, who begins his new residency at the Westgate resort this week. “Because what happens to all young artists that become successful overnight is I was getting killed by the critics. I mean, killed. They tried to annihilate me and my music. And then as the years go by things begin to change, and then I hear stuff like this, that while I was getting killed there was a whole batch of people who were loving what they were hearing. While it was happening, I didn’t realize that.” Despite early criticism, of course, Manilow went on to become one of pop music’s most prolific and successful songwriters and recording artists, notching 47 Top 40 singles and 12 No. 1 hits. He hasn’t really ever stopped, releasing his 30th album “This Is My Town: Songs of New York” last year following two albums in 2014. Manilow says his creative process hasn’t changed much over the years. He remains focused on melody even if today’s radio hits are more rhythmic. “I miss the melodies on the radio. Sure, there’s one or two now and again but these days it’s all about rhythm and it’s wonderful, irresistible,” he says. “My writing style is the same as [it's] always been. I try to come up with as good a melody as I can and as great a lyric as I can. The hardest thing about writing a song is always the idea. What is it about? What do you want the song to say? When you figure that out, writing the song is fun and that hasn’t changed.” Manilow performed at the Westgate from 2005 to 2010 (when the off-Strip resort was still known as the Las Vegas Hilton) then slid over to Paris Las Vegas for a two-year run. He’s excited to be performing in Las Vegas again, especially at the Westgate which has seen quite a bit of renovation and activation but left its historic showroom, the International Theater, intact. “I’m so glad they haven’t touched the showroom,” he says. “If you put long tables in that room instead of the theater seating, it would take you back to the days of Sinatra and Dean Martin. Showrooms just don’t look like that anymore and they even kept the name. Barbra [Streisand] opened it, followed by Elvis, and everyone from Aretha Franklin to Michael Bublé has played that stage. Even when I walk out for soundcheck, it really does feel like a very special place.” When Manilow takes that stage again for his first show on Thursday, expect to hear all the hits, from “Mandy” to “Can’t Smile Without You” to “Copacabana.” He’s booked into October but is hoping this Vegas show will last much longer. “I’m planning on being there forever,” he laughs. “We started at the Hilton for one year and wound up with five years, so who knows what happens. If nobody comes, they’ll throw me out.” “Manilow Las Vegas: The Hits Come Home” will be presented at the Westgate International Theater (3000 Paradise Road, 888-796-3564) at 8 p.m. May 24-26, June 14-16 and 21-23, July 19-21 and 26-28, and October 4-6 and 11-13.

| May 2, 2018 | 3 News Las Vegas | "Manilow returns: Our conversation with a music icon" by Jeff Gillan |
|---|
| We're sitting across from a guy who has 47 top 40 singles, 12 number one hits, 27 songs in the top ten, and Barry Manilow tells me this: “I never even thought about singing, or performing.” He kind of fell into it, already paving a path as a sought-after pianist and musician in New York in the 60’s and 70’s. He also made a name for himself producing albums, earning a Grammy in 1973 for his role producing Bette Midler’s “The Divine Miss M.” -- Stardom in his own right? “I was going to be a musician, if I was lucky. I was going to have a career as a musician, as an arranger like Nelson Riddle,” Manilow says. He had a debut solo album in 1973, and then 1974 happened, with the release of “Barry Manilow II,” with its hit song “Mandy.” The tune made Manilow a household name and propelled him toward becoming a pop music icon. My friend Bruce and I were driving in Florida and the DJ came on and said, 'now the number one selling record in Dade County - Barry Manilow's Mandy.’ I'll never forget it. Bruce nearly drove off the road,” Manilow tells me. Fame, he says, was quite the adjustment. “Yeah, fame was terrifying, and I was not 19 years old like they are on American Idol. I was in my late 20’s when fame hit me, and it nearly knocked me over because everything changes – everything changes,” Manilow says. 44 years later, we sit on one of the most famous stages in Las Vegas, home to Streisand and Elvis. “It has such history. But for me, the size of this room is my favorite size,” he says, looking at the space that sits about 1,600 people. He told me he appreciates the fact he can still sell out an arena, but here, in this theater, he appreciates the relative intimacy. “In this room, I’m in your lap,” he says. This will be his second stint in this theater - first, when the resort was the Las Vegas Hilton in the mid-2000’s, and now The Westgate. He’ll do a 20-date engagement beginning May 24, singing the songs that made him famous. While his pop tunes have brought him fortune and fame, he’s also written and/or sung some of the most recognizable commercial “jingles” in American history. Decades later, mention “like a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” or McDonald’s “You deserve a break today,” to someone, and chances are pretty good they’ll be able to sing you the line. What’s harder, I asked him: writing a jingle or writing a song? “I’m not sure harder is the right word, but for jingles, you have to write the “catchiest” melody you can in 15 seconds,” he says. When he was young, Manilow studied for a time at the prestigious Julliard School in New York, a pinnacle for aspiring musicians. “I think I learned more in my four years in my commercial industry than I did ever taking classes,” he tells me. Nonetheless, his durable career, which spans countless concerts and 44 albums, continues. He still has his legions of fans. As we talked, I had another question: how does he write those songs? “If it doesn't come quickly, I know it's not going to work. It's got to come quick. ‘Copa’ was in two takes. That was it,” he says, referring to the 1978 “Copacabana.” He tells me he’s a melody guy, which rules out for him, he says, a lot of what passes for pop in 2018. “I don’t hear it on the pop radio and I can’t handle what I am hearing, so I go back to my jazz stations and I go back to my classical music, and these are the kind of things that inspire me,” he says. In the meantime, Manilow has returned, melodies-and-all. His stint at the Westgate runs from May to October. |

| Vegas visitors have a new act to add to their list of must-sees: Barry Manilow. The Grammy, Tony and Emmy Award winner announced Friday (April 27) on CBS’ The Talk that he will be heading to Sin City in May for a couple of shows throughout 2018. “Manilow Las Vegas: The Hits Come Home" heads to Westgate Las Vegas, eight years after the star performed his residency at Westgate’s International Theater from 2005 to 2010. The show opens for previews May 24-26, with grand opening weekend falling from June 14-16 just before his 75th birthday on June 17. Other show dates are June 21-23, July 19-21, July 26-28, Sept. 27-29, Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13. Tickets go on sale May 2. |
| April 28, 2018 | The Desert Sun | "Fanilows quickly snap up tickets to Barry Manilow Las Vegas residency" by Bruce Fessier |
|---|
| Barry Manilow announced Friday on the CBS show, ‘The Talk,’ he will return to the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino in May [with] a new show called “Barry Manilow Las Vegas: The Hits Come Home.” The hotel confirmed he will do periodic Thursday-Friday engagements beginning with previews May 24-27. Tickets will be sold through Oct. 13 on the Westgate website, but more dates could be added. Manilow had a five-year residency at the hotel when it was called the Las Vegas Hilton, starting in 2005. He began a two-year run at the Paris Las Vegas in 2010. He has said in the past few years he'd like to cut back on tours of one-night shows, which keep him away from Palm Springs for weeks at a time. But he told The Desert Sun in December he has no intention of retiring, like contemporaries Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers. “I didn’t want to stop performing because I really enjoy when I do it,” Manilow said at the time. “I’m doing one-nighters now and again, but I can’t keep my band if I’m just going to do that. So, when this offer came in, it sounded like a way to keep my band together and I have great memories of working at the Hilton. It’s only two weekends a month and that would keep the band working. For me, two weekends a month is a dream.” After May 26, he’s scheduled to perform June 14-16 and June 21-23, and July 19-21 and July 26-28. He’s currently scheduled to skip August and return to the Westgate Sept. 27-29, Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13. He’ll turn 75 one day after his June 16 show at the Westgate. The Hilton showroom opened as the International Hotel in 1969 with a show by Barbra Streisand, and Elvis Presley began a long run afterwards as it changed to the Hilton in 1970. Manilow said he would again be staying in the suite where Elvis held court with famous Las Vegas guests. “Yeah, the Elvis suite!” Manilow said. “It was all pink. And it was huge on the top floor and the roof of the Hilton. You could see the whole of Vegas from every window. It had a Jacuzzi that said it would only seat 46 people. If you bring 47 people, the cops come out. They had a lawn on the roof of the Hilton and the rooms were ridiculously big. I made one room into a recording studio. I just had the greatest time there.” But he said he won’t commute nightly by private plane from Palm Springs to Las Vegas, as he did in the 2000s. He said he’d return home on Saturday nights. “It’s a 20-minute flight and I’m on the stage having a ball with my road family,” he said. “Sometimes I bring the dogs. I have nothing but good memories of my experiences there.” Tickets range from $19.75 to a $329.75 VIP package, plus fees. Manilow fan club members and Westgate Resorts residency owners were offered pre-sales beginning Friday. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 8 a.m. Wednesday. Manilow is called the top-selling adult contemporary recording artist of all time with sales of 85 million albums and 40 Top 40 Hits, including such hits as “Mandy,” “Copacabana” and “I Write the Songs.” He last performed in the Coachella Valley in December when he gave his fourth series of six “Gift of Love” concerts benefiting 25 local charities. |

| Barry Manilow is ready to take a chance again on Las Vegas. The Grammy, Tony and Emmy Award-winning singer and songwriter announced today on CBS’ “The Talk” that he’s returning to the Vegas stage next month at Westgate Las Vegas for a new production show dubbed “Manilow Las Vegas: The Hits Come Home.” “They wanted me to come back and I have nothing but great memories of my five years there so I said yes,” Manilow said on “The Talk.” He performed in the Westgate’s International Theater from 2005 to [2009] when the resort was still known as the Las Vegas Hilton, and more recently played for two years at Paris Las Vegas on the Strip. But the Westgate is the place that feels like home for Manilow. “It’s gorgeous now, but the room is one of my favorite places to play. I’m usually on the road playing for 10,000 people and it’s terribly exciting but I love this room. It’s still big, 3,000 people, but for me, it’s intimate. I try to connect with people and it’s difficult with 10,000 people. This room, I just love it.” “Manilow Las Vegas: The Hits Come Home” opens May 24 and tickets go on sale May 2 at barrymanilow.com and westgatelasvegas.com. Tickets will range from $20 to $330 and Manilow fan club members and Westgate Resorts owners will have access to a presale that started today. Show dates going on sale will be May 24-26, June 14-16 and 21-23, July 19-21 and 26-28 and October 4-6 and 11-13. Long a Vegas favorite, Manilow has sold more than 85 million albums worldwide and has notched fifty Top 40 singles throughout his career. Billboard ranks him as the No. 1 Adult Contemporary artist of all time. The residency is another entertainment expansion at the Westgate, which recently scheduled concerts from Alan Parsons on June 9, Yes on September 1 and John Prine on December 12, as well as the musical production show “Soundtrack” starring Clint Holmes and Earl Turner. |
| April 27, 2018 | Las Vegas Review-Journal | "Barry Manilow sets opening dates for Las Vegas residency" by John Katsilometes |
|---|
| So much has changed since Barry Manilow opened his residency 13 years ago at what is now the Westgate Las Vegas. The hotel was called Las Vegas Hilton then, the main performance venue was known as the Hilton Theater and Manilow was stepping in to supplant “Star Trek: The Experience” as the hotel’s main entertainment attraction. The old Trek-themed Quarks restaurant is now a gift shop, certain to be stocked heavily with Manilow merch. What hasn’t changed is Manilow himself. The hits are forever familiar, and he’s still cruising at Warp 7. “Can you believe, this? I’m as old as the (expletive) hills and I’m starting another residency in Las Vegas,” Manilow said, whose grand opening for “Barry Manilow Las Vegas: The Hits Come Home” coincides with his 75th birthday. “Shouldn’t I be on a cruise or something?” Manilow’s fans, the indefatigable “Fanilows,” would certainly find him on that boat. Adhering to his strong box-office appeal on tour, Manilow is taking on an ambitious performance schedule in his return to VegasVille. He opens for previews May 24-26, with his grand opening weekend June 14-16 (his birthday is June 17). Other announced show dates are June 21-23, July 19-21, July 26-28, Sept. 27-29, Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13. Tickets range from $19.75 to a $329.75 VIP package (fees not included). Tickets go on sale at 8 a.m. Wednesday, with Manilow’s fan club members and Westgate Resorts residency owners already offered pre-sales beginning today. Manilow anticipates performing at least two, and up to four, weekends per month through Oct. 13 as more dates are announced. Expect an extension if he does the business the hotel expects. As Westgate Resorts founder and CEO David Siegel said, “Barry Manilow is an icon and one of the world’s greatest performers. We are thrilled to be welcoming him back to our historic stage so that he can once again make it home.” What hasn’t been formally addressed is how the Manilow ripple effect at International Theater effects “Soundtrack,” starring Clint Holmes and Earl Turner, the theater’s 7 p.m. show running on select Thursdays through Saturdays. The current ticket schedule has “Soundtrack” performing alternate nights, when Manilow’s show is off, through the fall. There is no overlap between the two shows, and expect a stage show every weekend — including such headliners as Alan Parsons Project, Yes featuring Jon Anderson, and John Prine — throughout this year at Westgate. The hotel is booking partners with industry vet Danny Zelisko at International Theater. Manilow knows the property - especially the International stage - very well. He spent five years, 2005-[2009], at the Las Vegas Hilton and another two at Paris Las Vegas. “I have nothing but great memories of Las Vegas. People told me it would be difficult, but the audiences every night were just fantastic,” Manilow said. “The band, my crew, had a great time. We’re all so looking forward to it.” Manilow has forecast his zeal for Las Vegas for several months, He and his team have been spotted on the property since last winter. On Dec. 8, Manilow was quoted as saying the contract with the hotel was essentially a done deal, only the “the dotting of i’s and crossing of t’s” to be finished off. But the subsequent lag between that comment and today’s formal announcement sparked questions about the residency possibly unraveling. Manilow simply applied patience in the process, though when asked if he was concerned the deal might never be signed, he said, “Yeah, we all were. It kept going back and forth, and I think the Westgate was just working for a long time until everyone was happy. We were ready - me and my band were ready to go. We’re ready to go now.” Manilow is backed by a nine-piece band that he promises “will sound like 900,” and a show loaded with a healthy sampling from his 27 top-10 hits. The show will blend lavish Vegas production value with classic showmanship. “When I’ve been on the road, I’ve tried bringing 25 trucks and that kind of show, a big-big production, full symphony orchestra with band risers splitting the musicians and stairs in the middle,” Manilow said. “But when it come to me, the fans want to hear the songs they love.’ We will give them more than just a guy standing in front of the band - Sinatra and those guys used to do that, but I also like stuff. There will be three or four big moments in the show and that’s what I’m working on, right now... I’ll be able to change the show every night in some areas, and keep those big Vegas moments too.” In his previous Vegas productions, Manilow rolled out a fully costumed and choreographed number to “Copacabana,” and similar focus on that number can be expected. “I’m still thinking, thinking and not sure what we’ll do,” Manilow says. “We’re just beginning to put it together. It’s too early to commit to anything specifically.” Manilow is just eager to be back onstage. He’s continued to book performances internationally, including shows June 4-5 in Mexico City and a five-concert tour of the United Kingdom in September, capped by three appearances at O2 Arena in London. “I’m telling you, I feel 35. I don’t feel any different than I’ve ever felt,” he said. “I have no pot belly. I have as much passion and energy as ever. All the stuff I’ve heard in my life - age is a number, age only matters if you’re a banana (laughs) - that’s true.” The return to the Vegas stage will only continue to fuel his passion for music. “Being active is the answer to being young,” Manilow said. “If I stopped and just sat around and watch television, I would get old and maybe get sick. But for me, it’s always the next album, production, the next whatever. Every morning I can’t wait to do things with music. If you stop moving, you’re going to stop. And I never stop.” |
