A concert paying homage to Barry Manilow's timeless hits and 85 million records sold.
Copacabana Magic - The Barry Manilow Show comes to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Sunday 1 November, a concert built around the hits of Barry Manilow's career. It's a tribute show rather than Manilow himself, so the set is a run through the songs that have made him a household name over the decades.
That career is a big one to draw from. Manilow has sold more than 85 million records worldwide, and the show is billed as a heartfelt homage to his enduring brilliance. The title gives you a good steer on what to expect: Copacabana is one of his most recognisable tracks, and it's the kind of song that usually gets a good reaction when it comes around in a set like this. The rest of the evening follows suit, with the programme leaning on the hits that have kept him in the public eye for so long.
It's the sort of night that works if you've got a soft spot for the songs you know by heart, and if you're happy to hear them played back in a live setting. The focus is on the songs themselves, and the show is built around them, so you'll get the hits that have defined his career rather than a deep dive into the B-sides. If those are the songs you're after, this is where they'll be.
