BARRY MANILOW TAKES A FLING AT ACTING
When the singer and composer Barry Manilow performs on stage, he really knows how to tug at the heartstrings. As the fog machine goes on, the lights go down, and there he is in his white sequined tux at the white grand piano, warbling: Ive never been so low on love.. If Barry Manilow were any cuter, hed be illegal. Television is not his usual turf, but he watches it, and when he does, what he sees bothers him. All I see are these terrible, somber movies-of-the-week, he said recently, movies about AIDS, the Atlanta child murders, teen-age suicide, alcoholism and other horrible things. I just figured, maybe, maybe people are ready for a breath of fresh air, he said. Just something light.

Review/Pop; Old-Style Entertainer In a New Concert Hall
Barry Manilow has always straddled two musical worlds. As a recording star and arranger, he helped invent the modern, made-for-radio pop ballad in which crashing drums and soaring strings inflate greeting-card lyrics into tear-jerking bombast. As a theatrical showman, he is more of a traditional Broadway entertainer, one of the latest in a long line of likably hammy showmen that stretches back to the days of vaudeville. Those two worlds blended reasonably well on Wednesday evening at the gala opening of the Paramount, the new 5,600-seat theater at Madison Square Garden, where Mr. Manilow performed Showstoppers, his two-hour salute to Broadway. His engagement coincides with the release of his 23d and musically most satisfying album, also called Showstoppers, in which he sings Broadway standards accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra. For his four Paramount shows, the last of which is tomorrow night, Mr. Manilow unfortunately chose to substitute a small, cheesy-sounding ensemble consisting of synthesizers and a rhythm section for a full orchestra.

Review/Pop; A Man Belonging To His Fans
Barry Manilow belongs to his loving audience. He admitted during his Tuesday evening opening of a five-day Radio City Music Hall run that critics detest him and that his music business advisers thought he wouldnt last. They didnt count on you, Mr. Manilow cooed, pointing a theatrical finger at the worshipful capacity crowd. That gesture, both intimate and completely nonspecific, encapsulated Mr. Manilows carefully designed appeal. Hes all there for his fans, offering them the show-biz spectacle theyve come to expect. Yet Mr. Manilow is gregarious without being expressive, building romantic visions based on craft and a love for music, not on the usual confessions of the singer and songwriter. He is a very careful performer; even the personal asides that peppered his performance, about his lonely Brooklyn childhood and his teen-age dreams of being one of the Supremes, were meticulously rehearsed. His singing and the bands playing always remained within the confines of careful orchestrations.
BARRY MANILOW STARS IN COPACABANA ON CBS
BARRY MANILOWS song Copacabana became a hit in 1978. Soon after, it was used for an elaborate nightclub production number in one of Mr. Manilows television specials. Now, the lyrics scenario has been expanded into a two-hour television movie, supplemented with 10 new Manilow songs, which can be seen tonight at 9 oclock on CBS. The result, impeccably directed by Waris Hussein for Dick Clark Productions, is a sweet salute to old-fashioned musicals, a kind of fond parody of everything from Carmen Miranda to Slaughter on Tenth Avenue. Mr. Manilow appears as Tony Starr, ne Stern, a struggling 1940s singer and composer who falls in love with a woman named Lola, played with determined and delicious innocence by Annette OToole. After meeting Lola on a radio quiz show, an early version of Name That Tune, Tony discovers that she is practically starving while working for a 10-cents-a-dance emporium. Plugging away, he manages to get himself and Lola jobs at the swell Copacabana nightclub. But Lola is soon spotted by the unscrupulous Rico Castelli (Joseph Bologna) and is wooed to his gangster nightclub in prerevolutionary Havana. There is an appropriate cautionary-tale ending for the story, which is told in flashback through the eyes of Lola as she sits, old and lonely, in todays Copa, now a discotheque with considerably less glitter and glamour.
COPACABANA, A MUSICAL FOR TV WITH MANILOW
The pirates crack their whips, the harem girls scream in terror, and Annette OToole sings defiantly of the man who is sure to rescue her, the legendary hero El Bravo. This gaudy, campy production number recently staged at the Coconut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles calls to mind The Pirate and other big-budget M.G.M. musicals of the 1940s. But this particular movie, Copacabana, is being filmed for television, on a skimpy $4 million budget and a 22-day shooting schedule - a far cry from the $30 million or $40 million budgets that have become customary for movie musicals like The Cotton Club and Annie. Copacabana, which stars Barry Manilow in his acting debut and is based on his hit song of 1978, will be shown on CBS later this season.

THE POP LIFE
BARRY MANILOW, a pop star whose records over the past 10 years have been greeted with nearly unanimous critical disdain, has just released an album of original saloon songs that ought to give even his sharpest detractors pause. On 2:00 AM-Paradise Cafe, an album of 11 late-1950s- styled torch songs, Mr. Manilow sings and plays the piano with a pop-jazz ensemble that includes the guitarist Mundell Lowe, the bassist George Duvivier, Gerry Mulligan on baritone sax, and the late Shelly Manne on drums. Paradise Cafe, which was done live with no overdubs, also features duets by Mr. Manilow with Sarah Vaughan and Mel Torme. When October Goes, its first single, is Mr. Manilows lovely setting of a lyric by the late Johnny Mercer. Easily the most endearing album of Mr. Manilows career, Paradise Cafe represents a bold and refreshing departure by someone who until now has hewn to the same commercial formula of bombastic, sentimental pop-rock.
He Sings the Songs of Sinatra
Some of the greatest hits of Hobokens most famous native, Frank Sinatra, will be sung close to home when Barry Manilow reprises songs from the repertory of Ol Blue Eyes in his performance tonight at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.

Barry Manilow has scored his first No. 1 album in 29 years with The Greatest Songs of the 50s (Arista) -- featuring tunes like Unchained Melody and Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing -- which sold 156,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His last album to reach the peak position on the Billboard chart was Live in 1977. It was a big week for sentimental vocal albums, as Andrea Bocelli opened at No. 3 with Amore (Decca) and the Broadway star Heather Headleys new In My Mind (RCA, 95,000) reached No. 5. The rock band Train, never accused of a lack of sentimentality, is at No. 10 with its new album For Me, Its You (Sony BMG). Other top spots on this weeks chart are filled by holdovers: Mary J.

FOR one brief, delirious moment, Barry Manilows Copacabana: The Musical -- who could ask for a more elucidative title? -- is imaginable on Broadway.

Here is the quintessential hybrid, -- albeit a rather mindless mind -- the stage equivalent of the man without a country, a perennial road show, a faux musical that began its heavily traveled, constantly adjustable existence as a song. That was in 1978.. a show born on the road**Alvin Klein reviews show Barry Manilows Copacabana: The Musical, how playing at Shubert Theater in New Haven; photo (M)
