Manilow: « The Last Last Concert »

On 16 June 2026, Barry Manilow brings The Last Last Concert to bp pulse LIVE in Marston Green. Pianist, arranger and songwriter before stepping into the spotlight, Manilow cut his teeth on New York stages, in advertising and Off-Broadway, then shaped early-70s shows as musical director while producing and accompanying Bette Midler. His catalogue blends orchestral pop, adult contemporary, soft rock and piano ballads, with a taste for clear melodies, tight refrains and layered vocal arrangements. The breakthrough came mid-decade with Barry Manilow II, Tryin’ to Get the Feeling, This One’s for You and Even Now, followed by years of touring and TV appearances. He has also written and produced for other voices and explored themed projects, from the late-night jazz of 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe to standards and musical-theatre tributes like Showstoppers and Night Songs. On stage, expect a set that spans these eras, between radio staples and deeper cuts, rearranged with his long-honed bandcraft and the storytelling that has anchored his Broadway and Las Vegas residencies.
