The story
of the star-crossed lovers Lola and Tony comes to life
in this delightful musical based on Barry Manilow's
classic hit song.
Manilow
stars as Tony, a struggling young pianist/composer who
gets a job at New York's famous Copacabana nightclub,
and is charmed by the lovely chorus girl Lola (Annette
O'Toole). Love blooms between the pair, but then Rico, a
smarmy rival nightclub owner (Joe Bologna), sweet-talks
Lola into working for him in Havana, promising her a
chance in the big time. When heartbroken Tony learns
that Rico's intentions are not exactly honorable, chaos
erupts...
Manilow's infectious melodies, over-the-top song and
dance numbers and glitzy costumes prove to be an
irresistible combination. COPACABANA is a campy,
light-hearted musical romp that the whole family will
enjoy.
