Barry Manilow is Back! Weekend In New England (July 10 & 16, 2026 Westgate, Las Vegas, NV)

I had the good fortune to see Barry Manilow twice within a week! The first was on July 10, (I sat on the floor towards the back) and on July 16 (in the balcony) and both times I was blown away by his stamina, energy and vocal power. Initially, I was prepared to see him mostly sitting and using vocal tracks to sing his iconic songs, but was pleasantly surprised to see him hopping and moving one end of the stage to another, climbing the scaffolding to dance and, best of all, singing live! It was obvious he was using reverb and other technology to support his vocals, but I believe it's to help save his voice from faltering for the length of his Las Vegas residency. No one does it like Barry, especially when it comes to his ballads and "Weekend in New England" is no exception. I blended both nights of his performances that I saw - July 10, he was in his red velvet jacket, on July 16, he was in blue. I used his vocals from the July 16th performance because I personally thought it was stronger. I commend him for his strength and perseverance. He could have waited longer to recuperate from his surgery but here he is, back on stage like he never left! Thank you, Barry Manilow for being the person and performer that you are!
