Legendary
songwriter and performer Barry Manilow celebrated the
100th performance of his hit show, MANILOW: MUSIC AND
PASSION, at the Las Vegas Hilton, and PBS was there to
capture all the excitement on stage and
behind-the-scenes. Barry gives his audience the show of
a lifetime, delivering favorites such as "Mandy",
"Copacabana", and "I Write The Songs" in a high-energy
party--Vegas style! Plus, Barry sings songs from his
new album The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties
which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, such
as "Unchained Melody" and "Venus", as well as songs that
have never been captured on film: "If I Can Dream", "The
Best Seat In The House", "See The Show Again", "Do You
Know Who's Livin' Next Door?", "Come Monday", and
"Here's To Las Vegas".
Shot in high-definition, MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION is
an exciting, multifaceted production that features
contemporary hi-tech music and effects mixed with the
classic entertainment values of Las Vegas legends such
as Sinatra, Presley, Davis, and Martin.
And the cameras never stopped rolling!!!! They followed
Barry everywhere--before the show and after the show.
This intimate look at Barry's work has been compiled
into two compelling featurettes that not only give the
fans an inside look at what goes into producing his live
Vegas show and the PBS special, but also the outtakes
during the shoot.
