NOW AT TIC 243-4051 1-888-MONTANI UM PRODUCTIONS 1 MI to PRODUCTIONS BOZEMAN CACTUS RECORD CD SEPT. 29th WAREHOUSE (BOZEMAN) NEXT Missoula Independent Oh Barry, we hardly knew ye: though it weren't enough to write the songs that make the whole world sing, back when the once-and-future Number adult contemporary artist of all time was a hungry young buck living in Brooklyn, 18-year-old Barry "At the Copa" Manilow was approached by a director who asked him to arrange some public domain songs for a musical adaptation of the melodrama The Drunkard. Instead, Barry wrote an entire original musical score and the musical became such a success that it ran on Broadway for eight years! By 1972, Manilow had become Bette Miler's personal music director, arranger and pianist and, after launching, his multi-platinum solo career just a few years later, went on to sell over 50 million albums worldwide. When he made his first visit to the UK in the mid-Seventies, more than 300 British policemen had to be deployed to keep the legions of Barry-crazed fans at bay! But the legacy of those hungry years lives on: this month, with the Whitefish Theatre Company presenting The Drunkard, with original music and lyrics by Manilow at the O'Shaughnessy Center.
