Although celebrated Pop Icon Barry Manilow just came off of a string of successful live! stage performances in Las Vegas, he's raring to trot back out, for an encore of sorts.
For instance, the famed crooner's handlers recently announced, that Mr. Manilow will entertain audiences at the McCallum Theatre December 4th thru December 9th.
But, get this!
The musical wunderkind is taking advantage of the upcoming gigs to "give back" to the community.
Funds generated by ticket sales will be donated to a handful of charities - twenty-five - at last count!
Thanks to the hit-maker with the knack for conjuring up catchy foot-tapping melodies, the coffers at - Guide Dogs of the Desert, the Desert A.I.D.S. project, Desert Paws, Animal Samaritans (to name a few) - will be counting their blessings (and greenbacks) this Yuletide season.
If you're a big Barry Manilow fan (or just love his hit - Copacabana - of yesteryear) you may want to spring for a VIP ticket which includes a pre-show reception and a meet-and-greet with the charismatic legend who started out in the biz playing back-up for Bette Midler in the early seventies.
