Barry Manilow Brings New Orchestra Show To London At The 02 Arena 5/4-7

Legendary showman Barry Manilow announces a unique musical extravaganza at the 02 Arena on May 4, 5, 6, and 7. He will be joined on stage for the first time ever by one of the most pre-eminent orchestras performing in the world today, The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. The idea for the two to perform together was born through his sell-out headline performance at last year's prestigious Proms In The Park. The Independent said of this performance: "Barry Manilow is one of the giants of world show business." The Times concurs that: "Manilow's magic remains alive and thriving." He will be performing all of his most loved classics and excerpts from his new album "The Greatest Love Songs of All Time" at the 02.

Barry Manilow says: "I was honoured to be asked to perform at Proms in the Park last year, it was a huge thrill to have been a part of such an iconic British event. It will be a sheer joy to perform again for my British fans at the 02 Arena alongside one of the best orchestras in the world, but this time the show will even bigger and even better and I'm planning to blow the roof off of the arena!"
