Tonight is a big night for Barry Manilow. Unfortunately, he isn’t going to be there even though he wants to be.
“I am heartbroken to say that I have just tested positive for COVID-19 and won’t be able to attend tonight’s opening night performance of my new musical, HARMONY,” the singer wrote. “This just might be the cruelest thing that has ever happened to me: 25 years waiting for this show to premiere in New York and I can’t attend. Even in the face of this pandemic, we New Yorkers remain the toughest, staunchest people on the planet — so, put on a mask and go see a show!”
Yes, it sucks. But unlike Jonathan Larson, he can still go to another performance. You know, because Larson died the night before Rent’s opening night, Perspective is everything.
