IP CASINO RESORT & SPA PRESENTS
INGENIUS MUSICAL TRIBUTE
TO BARRY MANILOW
Biloxi, MS—If you are looking for a romantic summer songfest and happen to be a fan of one of the most romantic composers in show business, then come to Club IP beginning June 8 – July 22. I Write the Songs, a unique musical celebration, will make you laugh, cry, sing and dance and it’s just the show for you and your family when you visit your one stop resort destination, IP CASINO RESORT & SPA in Biloxi, Mississippi. The 5-person stage production creatively showcases one of the most prolific and award-winning composers of this generation, Barry Manilow.
I Write the Songs is a much deserved honor rarely bestowed on a contemporary singer-songwriter,” according to its originator, nationally acclaimed musical theater artist, Gary Waldman.
Manilow has written hundreds of songs and performed around the world, thrilling millions of fans, picking up a Grammy, an Emmy, Tony Awards, and an Oscar nomination along the way.
To make the Manilow musical that much more exciting, Waldman has cast disco legend Jeanie Tracy as the star of I Write the Songs. Coined by megastar Whitney Houston as “one of the 10 best singers in the world,” Tracy is certain to add additional glitter and glam to the already spectacular 90-minute audio-visual extravaganza.
Tracy has partnered with Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle and Celine Dion on various musical projects, including, My Heart Will Go On, the title track from Academy Award winning film Titanic.
Reviewers of the original production were stunned at how Waldman and longtime musical collaborator, Phil Hinton, re-arranged and re-structured the best of Manilow’s work into an entirely new form of entertainment.
Vigorous research led the pair to an amazing repertoire consisting of classic pop, jazz, swing and virtually every other style of 20th Century music that will appeal to the entire family. IP is hosting the smash-hit summer musical on stage in Club IP as an incentive to promote much-needed, family-oriented live entertainment on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The theater boasts a 500 seat capacity, with reserved private booths available for parties of four or more.
