 Manilow has been performing for more than three decades |
Singer Barry Manilow has extended his contract to keep his Las Vegas show running until at least 2007. The Las Vegas Hilton has added 150 shows to the star's current run of his Music and Passion shows.
Manilow, known for hits such as Mandy and Copacabana, originally signed a 24-week deal to take him into 2006.
He has promised fans the show will stay fresh. "I've always avoided a fixed show that repeated the same thing every night," he said.
'Top draw'
Music and Passion first opened at the 1,700-seat venue in February.
Ken Ciancimino, Hilton executive vice-president, said Manilow had proved to be a "top Las Vegas draw".
Tickets for the newly-added shows will be on sale from 13 August.
Manilow is performing in Las Vegas along with other stars, including Celine Dion and Sir Elton John.
Dion is more than two years into her stint, which began as a three-year, $100m deal to perform at Caesar's Palace but was later extended to run into 2007.
