Barry Manilow Felled by Flu– Postpones Broadway Opening Tonight and All Weekend Shows

Share

Poor Barry Manilow. He’s missed the first two previews of his Broadway debut. And now he’s cancelled tonight’s opening and all the weekend shows. He’s got a bad case of the flu. It really knocked him out, apparently. And you know Barry does not have stage fright. He’s been sick as a dog for days. His last appearance as on “Katie.” Hmmm…Maybe that was it! Just kidding. A statement from the publicist: MANILOW ON BROADWAY will resume performances on Tuesday, January 29.  It turns out the only thing worse than hell and high water is bronchitis.  Barry is deeply sorry to disappoint his fans and is doing everything he can to ensure a speedy recovery.”
