Singer-songwriter Barry Manilow, whose tunes fill the musicals Harmony and Copacabana, will open a new resident show in Las Vegas in March 2010.

On March 5, 2010, Manilow will throw open the doors to the Paris Théâtre at Paris Las Vegas with a reimagined stage show. The Grammy Award winner will play 78 shows a year for the next two years.

The shows are produced by AEG Live in conjunction with Paris Las Vegas. Tickets for performances through July 18, 2010, are now on sale.

Jeffrey Hornaday ("Flashdance," "A Chorus Line," "High School Musical") will direct the show in the 1,500-seat venue. Audiences can expect many of the hit tunes from Manilow's 35-year career.

In a statement Manilow said, "The audience in Vegas is always energized and electric, so I know that the Paris Las Vegas is going to be a special run. I'm planning something new for this performance; definitely not to be missed."

Tickets are available on-line at Ticketmaster.com, in person at the Paris Théâtre box office, or by calling (800) 745-3000. Ticket prices are $250, $175, $125 and $95. Visit www.parislasvegas.com for more information.
