1 min read

Barry Manilow proved Thursday night at Santander Arena that timeless songs never go out of style. Backed by a polished band and vibrant production, the legendary entertainer delivered nearly two hours of classics that had the sold out crowd singing along from the opening moments. His voice remains remarkably strong, and his natural charisma kept the audience engaged between every song.

From beloved hits like “Mandy,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” and “Copacabana,” to heartfelt stories from throughout his career, Manilow struck the perfect balance between nostalgia and showmanship. It wasn’t just a concert. It was a celebration of a catalog that has connected generations of fans, and Reading responded with standing ovations throughout the evening.
