Thanks for Nothing: Drew Barrymore Show Features Barry Manilow Musical 10 Days Before Closing, at Broadway Theater Named for Her Family

Share

Barry Manilow’s musical, “Harmony,” opened on November 13th at the Barrymore Theater on Broadway. Previews began October 18th.

Now the show is closing on February 4th. So on Tuesday, talk show host Drew Barrymore will finally air a piece promoting the show. It features Drew looking around the theater named for her great grand uncle and aunt, John and Ethel Barrymore.

Couldn’t this have happened back in November, when the show needed help? Now it’s pretty much “thanks for nothing.” At this point, why even bother?

Speaking of Drew’s family, her mother Jaid’s old friends are wondering what’s happened to her. In the four seasons of the Drew Barrymore Show, Jaid has vanished from the scene. Jaid and Drew famously feuded for years after Drew self emancipated at age 14.
