Barry Manilow

For two weeks before the show opened, a radio station was giving away free tickets if callers could I identify his songs. If you expect a hit, no one papers the house.

At his age Barry needs to be working small rooms, not big theaters.

We spoke on the phone once with Miss M when we were working for her publicist, the scorching hot (then) Michael Ameen. Mary is a MOST unpleasant queen.

MARY!

BARRY!

Barry is 76 ! He should not only fire his manager, he should divorce his manager and cut off his allowance. Manilow has had back and hip surgery. He's made enough money, and deserves to live in the retirement style that I wish I could afford.

Poor Barry. Suffering the consequence of decisions he helped make for three whole weeks. He came & he gave without taking. Life ain’t fair!

Why is she married to a fugly blimp?

He's got Dust On His Piano and Dishes In The Sink ........

At least his husband is making money.

They need a Weekend in New England to patch things up!

I'm convinced a Datalounger is writing for the NY Post:

[quote] Bazza and Gazza have been “fighting almost daily,” including some backstage blow-ups at the Lunt-Fontanne.

[quote] “It’s terrible. Barry’s up there at 76 years of age, and Garry’s sitting in the back of the theater eating bonbons.”

Those backstage blowjobs, er I mean blowups at the theater must be very uncomfortable for the crew to witness.

I've never been a Fanilow. I've always considered his music cheesy.

💃 Seriously, he should be appearing at the Copacabana. I hear it's the hottest spot north of Havana.

Why doesn't he just retire already? He's old and very rich, he should be lazing about in Palm Springs like all the other rich old queens.

Many performers like him are addicted to the adoration (and the money). The applause is like a drug for them. And if their monetarily greedy they don't see any amount of money as ever enough.

Another gay male plastic surgery victim that ends up looking like an old lesbian

Meow, claws are out for poor Barry.

I wonder why he's never been asked to play the superbowl halftime show? He's a huge international star, people across generations know his songs (everyone knows Copacabana, it's a karaoke bar classic) and he puts on a entertaining show.

"I'm convinced a Datalounger is writing for the NY Post:

Not true, R11. A Datalounger would have said ...blow-ups at the Lu."

“the “Copacabana” star is facing an “ocean of empty seats.””

Barry’s not a top, so what’s the big deal?

The plastic surgery bills between those two must be very large.

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl

But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show

She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony (award) Now she's lost her mind

The last time I saw him sing it was obvious he had lost it. Everything, from the voice to his moves, was tired and worn out, and it was obvious he simply didn't have the energy for it. Very similar to Britney Spears when she was drugged out of her mind trying to keep the energy up on stage and failing miserably.

Much better to spend your money to see Babs.

An argument between these two bellies almost certainly includes the phrases “slap you silly” and “scratch your eyes out”.

R23 Ugh. I had a feeling it would be like that. My husband and I had a chance to see him a while back, and at a great price, but something made us pass--aside from our usual laziness. Glad we did after hearing these accounts.

I had no idea he came out. I’m sitting here watching him on an old episode of Johnny Carson from 1985 and thought to myself “Is this guy ever coming out of the closet?” before I googled it and saw he did a couple years ago. 😂

His husband looks like a fat Clay Aiken.

I wonder which is Martha and which is George in the dressing room arguments.

Barry is a top.

Poor Barry has to wear diapers now.

Yeah R27 , I saw him in a gay bar in 1976.

He's 76 and filthy rich. He should be doing nothing and enjoying the time he has left.

any insider have the scoop on how badly the box office was?
