Barry Manilow has an outstanding voice and it has remained great throughout his carreer. It is nice to hear a performer sing on key and enjoy his work. Since he has numerous hits, we expected a variety of old with new songs. Unfortunately, the night we saw his show he was getting over laryngitis again. Because of this, his backup singers sang a lot more and the show lasted only 58 minutes with no Encore. That was unfortunate considering the cost of the tickets. Barry Manilow has been doing this show for over five years at the Hilton and it must be getting old for him and the band. If you go, just expect an average show that will be short and sweet.

Barry Manilow show was fabulous! Yeah the glow stick was corny, but it's a lot safer than holding up a lighter!
The show was about 1 1/2 hours and he sang the best of his hits. Of course, the encore was copa-cabana! And what a great way to end the show!
Barry's voice is still beautiful, the notes were dead on!
You'd enjoy this show even if you didn't grow up in the 70's!!'
We bought our tickets directly from the Hilton the day of the show. We didn't opt for the $165 stage seats, instead we paid $105 and were a few rows from the back, which turned out to be great seats! We were center stage, and the arena was so small (fits 1400) that most every seat is a great seat!
Enjoy the show, it's certainly worth it!

Perhaps I was expecting too much having seen the 'Music and Passion' DVD, which lasts for about two hours, but the performance was over and done with in about 1 hour 20 minutes. I suppose that's Vegas for you, they want you back on those slots before you get too tired. Barry sang very well, despite an obviously dry throat, and the atmosphere was great. We paid quite a bit for good seats, but in all truth you really don't need to; you can get the atmosphere and sound for much less in some of the less expensive seats, and with the short length of the show you won't come away feeling a little short-changed. The security was a bit OTT as well, which didn't add to the experience. Don't be dissuaded from going, it's a great show, but just don't pay too much for a seat.

Way back when....at 4 years old...no one has the same name as you...correct?? I believed in my heart as a little girl, Barry wrote the song Mandy just for me...well, until I went to school and 2 other Mandy's thought the same thing....broken heart at the age of 5. *sigh*

Got to finally, at age 40 see his show....nearly cried the whole time, it was GREAT!! Had 2nd row stage seats...unless you get 1st or 2nd row stage seats, I would suggest trying for 1st-2nd row floor seats...just as good imho. However, the all you want champagne and souvinir champaign glasses were the best!

He gets really close to you in the stage seating and even picks a few off the stage to interact with.

AWESOME show...just love him. A true musical mastermind!
