While Barry Manilow recovers from hip surgery (repairing cartilage from both hips, if you must know, and ouch, now we have to sit down), Las Vegas Hilton will temporary replace him with...
Well, can anyone really replace Barry? I mean, come on. He writes the songs that make the whole world gamble.
But the show goes on, as they say, and Barry will be replaced with Menopause 2.
Ah, we jest.
There won't really be a replacement; after all, he's still performing through this weekend.
But on Sept. 22, a temporary tribute concert called RockShow!, starring Brody Dolyniuk of Yellow Brick Road (itself a cover band), will move in to the 1,500-seat theater for one night only.
The lively show (get it?) incorporates live tributes to Queen, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and more. But what, no Barry?
Tickets are $39.95 and can be purchased at the Hilton box office at (702) 732-5755 or (800) 222-5361. Tickets are not available online and in fact isn't listed at the Hilton website.
Get better, Barry. And while you're at it, throw us a couple pairs of tickets, why don't you? We love ya with or without hips. You'll always be hip to us.
