People behind the production
Barely Manilow is the flagship tribute show created by Jonathan Elgart, launched in 2014 as his first major tribute project. The performance centers on Barry Manilow’s pop and adult contemporary hits from the 1970s and 1980s, delivered with storytelling, live piano, and a full band for a polished, Broadway-tinged experience. Over the years, Elgart has expanded his tribute roster to include Nearly Diamond (Neil Diamond), Streetlife Serenader (Billy Joel), and Elton Jonathan (Elton John), touring nationally with these acts. The Barely Manilow show brings a confident, engaging tribute that honors Manilow’s classic repertoire while maintaining a distinctive, personal delivery.
