with the products that STILETTO is developing.”
“This
agreement truly reflects the best of all worlds,” said Troy P.
Queen, a principal of STILETTO New Media. “It combines an

Legendary
songwriter and performer Barry Manilow celebrated the 100th
performance of his hit show, Manilow:
Music and Passion,
at the Las Vegas Hilton and PBS was there to capture
all the excitement on stage and behind the scenes. Barry gives
his audience the show of a lifetime, delivering favorites such as
“Mandy,” “Copacabana” and “I Write The Songs” in a
high-energy party -- Vegas style! Plus, Barry sings songs from
his new No. # 1 album The
Greatest Songs Of The Fifties such as “Unchained
Melody” and “Venus,” as well as songs that have never been
captured on film: “If I Can Dream,” “The Best Seat In The
House,” “See The Show Again,” “Do You Know Who’s Livin’
Next Door?,” “Come Monday” and “Here’s To Las Vegas.”
Shot
in high-definition, Manilow:
Music and Passion is an exciting, multi-faceted production
that features contemporary hi-tech music and effects mixed with the
classic entertainment values of
Las Vegas
legends such as Sinatra, Presley, Davis and Martin. Manilow:
Music and Passion is the latest masterpiece from the
Showman of our Generation that has people from every generation on
their feet, dancing and clapping along, as only he can do. Special
features include exclusive, never-before-seen interviews with Barry.
The
cameras never stopped rolling. They followed Barry everywhere
– before the show and after the show. This intimate look at
Barry’s work has been compiled into two compelling featurettes that
not only give the fans an inside look at what goes into producing his
live Vegas show and the PBS Special, but also the outtakes during the
shoot – like when Barry lost his voice singing “Unchained
Melody” and didn’t know if he could go on with the show! His
loyal fans will be able to add yet another gem to their collection of
Barry Manilow music beginning March 28th with the Manilow:
Music and Passion two-disc
DVD.
