Barry Manilow - better than you've heard him before! Well-renowned local performers, Emily Glick, Shannon Payette Seip, and Gail Becker, take on the superstar's songs and repertoire in a jaw-dropping cabaret show.  This One's For You: the Music of Barry Manilow is a fantastic journey celebrating the songs that he wrote and sang - his artistic contribution throughout the 20th century has truly helped shape the sound and culture of contemporary American pop music.

These three singers give exceptional harmonies and style to these classic gems with mind-blowing arrangements. Jeff-Award winning composer George Howe has arranged a stunning tapestry of Manilow's compositions that honors the artist in a way we have never heard before.

Emily, Shannon, and Gail, with Andrew Abrams on piano and Mike Koszewski on drums will weave you through some of his best-known songs like Can't Smile Without You, I Write the Songs, Weekend in New England, Daybreak, and Paradise Café.
