Barry Manilow cancels Las Vegas show during performance

LAS VEGAS – “Can’t Smile Without You” has never been more prophetic.

Citing audio problems, Barry Manilow canceled his appearance midway through the show at Westgate’s International Theater on Thursday night.

The Weekend In New England superstar called it off over concerns about the venue’s audio equipment. A representative for Manilow confirmed that the superstar was experiencing monitor issues that could not be resolved during the show.

Manilow had finished “Can’t Smile Without You” and the band continued playing as he finished the performance.

The show is officially being treated as a cancellation, with refunds being offered through the point of sale. Neither Manilow’s team nor the hotel have issued a formal statement on the developments.

Manilow draws fans from across the country and even abroad to his Westgate production. Thursday’s performance was reportedly sold out.

The 81-year-old headliner just returned from a sold-out run of five shows at Radio City Music Hall in his native New York City. He has played a record 47 shows at the famous venue.

Manilow also holds the International Theater record, breaking Elvis Presley’s mark of 636 in September 2023.
