I never thought that I would have seen Barry Manilow in person. Never-ever. I'm 23 and my exposure to him has been limited to the copacabana song and images of him wearing sparkling 70's disco outfits.
I went to the show last night with my girlfriend and we both were completely entertained. Barry has GREAT stage presence and started off the show with a bang. The production value at the venue (high def TV's, nice band, dancers, lighting) was excellent. The show had 3 distinct "acts" with the middle the weakest, however this is understandable and I don't find fault with it. The finale tied everything together and made us walk out with huge grins on our faces humming to the songs (maybe the double crown and ginger ale's helped.)
Overall I was impressed. I would recommend this show to anyone, even people that don't know his music. 4/5.
