Barry Manilow's Incredible Year: Harmony On Broadway, Record-Breaking Shows, And A Holiday Special

Let’s talk about Barry Manilow, shall we? This year has been nothing short of spectacular for the legendary singer. Barry has been blowing audiences away with sold-out performances at iconic venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York City and Las Vegas, where he shattered Elvis Presley’s record for the longest-running musical residency back in September. But wait, there’s more! Barry’s long-cherished musical, Harmony, which he penned way back in 1997, is finally making its Broadway debut on November 13. In Barry’s own words, “This has been the biggest year of my career.”

Barry’s perseverance with Harmony is nothing short of inspiring. “I never gave up on this show,” he shares. And as if breaking records and bringing Harmony to life weren’t enough, Barry’s incredible year is extending into the holiday season. On December 11, NBC will premiere Barry Manilow’s A Very Barry Christmas, and it’ll be available to stream on Peacock the very next day. “I absolutely love doing our Christmas show! It’s a blast to perform my pop hits alongside some of my favorite Christmas tunes,” Barry explains. The special was filmed in Las Vegas with his 24-piece band, ensuring it’s packed with feel-good music that’ll get you in the holiday spirit. “It’s an hour of pure musical joy,” Barry adds with a smile.
