BARRY MANILOW PREMIERES NEW SHOW AT
PARIS LAS VEGAS
Celebrated music legend begins two-year deal
with Paris Las Vegas and AEG Live

March 8, 2010 (LAS VEGAS) - Legendary singer-
songwriter Barry Manilow is making music and
magic at Paris Las Vegas with a new resident
show. On Saturday, Manilow threw open the doors
to the Paris Théâtre at Paris Las Vegas with a
reimagined stage show that is both more intimate
and more exciting than ever before.
Manilow will perform 78 shows each year for two years at Paris Las Vegas. The shows are produced
by AEG Live in conjunction with Paris Las Vegas. Tickets for performances through July 18, 2010
are currently on-sale.
“The audience in Vegas is always energized and electric, so I know that the Paris Las Vegas is
going to be a special run,” said Manilow. “I’m
planning something new for this performance; definitely not to be missed.”
Directed by renowned stage and film choreographer and director Jeffrey Hornaday (Flashdance, A
Chorus Line, High School Musical), this new show casts Manilow’s hits in a new light in the intimate
and elegant 1,500 seat Paris Théâtre. Including exhilarating new video elements and all the songs
that have made him a pop culture icon over the
past 35 years, the show brings the energy,
sincerity and melody of Manilow at his best to a spectacular yet personal crescendo.
“This is a very special show,” said Director and
Co-Creator Jeffrey Hornaday. “Barry has
handcrafted a production that is incredibly
personal and nuanced. The result is an original, moving, and thrilling theatrical experience. For
me personally, it has been the most exciting
creative process I've ever participated in.”
With worldwide record sales exceeding 80
million, Barry Manilow is ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time, according
to R&R (Radio & Records); with no less than 25 consecutive top 40 hits to his credit between
1975 and 1983, on the Billboard Hot 100. Manilow
has worked on over 40 albums over the course of
his career as a singer, songwriter, arranger and producer. He recently released “The Greatest
Love Songs of All Time,” a new album chronicling
the most touching love songs ever written.
Las Vegas middle school and high school music programs will benefit from Manilow’s new contract
with Paris by sharing in the proceeds of the
special, weekly Platinum Experience Tickets.

row seat, pre-show champagne reception, meet
