Barry Manilow will return to Broadway with summer for a limited engagement at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre from July 26-August 17. The Manilow Broadway concerts are described as evenings "of nonstop Top 40 Hits and surprises from his extensive catalog of music ranging from pop, to Broadway, Jazz, and adult contemporary."

Barry Manilow's Broadway history includes a special Tony Award for his first appearance in 1977. In 1989 he returned for an 8-week run at the Gershwin Theater and again in 2013 at the St. James Theatre.

"I am thrilled to be returning to my hometown of New York City and performing once again on Broadway," said Manilow in a statement. "It holds a very special place in my heart."

Manilow recently celebrated his 500th show at the International Theater at the Westgate in Las Vegas, where he has been in residency since 2018. This September he will be headlining BBC's The Proms in the Park in London. Mannilow Broadway will be presented by Live Nation, The Araca Group and EBG.
