Barry Manilow to stay put in Vegas through 2008
Singer/songwriter Barry Manilow , who began a long-term engagement at Las Vegas' Hilton Theater in 2005, will continue to call the venue home through 2008.
Manilow launched his "Music and Passion" show at the Las Vegas Hilton in early 2005, and initially signed on to appear through 2006. The extension of the engagement was announced during Manilow's Friday (3/24) appearance at the theater, according to a press release.
"The shows at the Hilton are the most exciting shows I've ever done," Manilow said in a statement. "The stage is huge, but the theater is intimate, so we can have a magnificent production and still connect with the audience. We change the show each night. It keeps it fresh for the audience and for all of us."
During the weeks his show is live--generally two to three weeks per month--Manilow performs at the Hilton Theater Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 9 p.m., and Saturdays at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Ticket prices range from $95 to $225, not including taxes and service charges.
Other artists who currently have long-term deals to perform in Las Vegas include Celine Dion, whose production parks at Caesar's Palace, and Elton John, who performs at the same venue during some of Dion's off-nights.
