Barry Manilow announces final UK shows with London residency

Trish Deitch There’s a narrator in “Harmony,” Bruce Sussman and Barry Manilow’s musical now playing at Broadway’s Ethel Barrymore Theater—an elderly rabbi, played ably by Chip Zien, who tells the true story of six young men in Berlin who formed a comedic singing group in 1927 that rose to international fame at the same time that the Nazis came to power. The rabbi was one of three Jewish men in the group, called the Comedian Harmonists, and he implies throughout the play that he was the only survivor.

the musical “Parade” and Tom Stoppard’s play “Leopoldstadt.” The problem is that while “Harmony” is about a sextet of singers whose voices blend like milk and coffee, its elements do not similarly fuse into a cohesive and satisfying musical.The show, directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, has been tinkered with by Manilow and lyricist/book-writer Bruce Sussman for nearly 30 years, but on its largest stage yet it still doesn’t quite work.Structural flaws that were mostly forgivable when the production played the more intimate Museum of Jewish Heritage downtown last year are detrimentally exacerbated by Broadway’s imposing size. The musical, therefore, is lopsided.

Broadway loves a recognizable name, a famous band or singer that can fuel a jukebox musical on nostalgia and familiar tunes. To its credit, Harmony isn’t that.

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of “Gen V, titled “Guardians of Godolkin,” now streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video. You’ve had a week since the “Gen V” Season 1 finale to theorize about where Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Andre (Chance Perdomo), Jordan (Derek Luh/London Thor) and Emma (Lizze Broadway) are at the end of “The Boys” spinoff’s cliffhanger episode. So, do you have a plausible explanation for the medical facility with no doors that the four supes are stuck in? It’s OK, we don’t either, and just like “Gen V” showrunner Michele Fazekas, star Luh is no help to us by keeping his lips sealed — even though he’s finally allowed to talk about the Amazon series after the SAG-AFTRA strike ended — and refusing to be the spoiler-ific Tom Holland of the Vought Cinematic Universe.

fox!Drew Barrymore did her best impersonation of Julia Fox on Wednesday’s episode of her talk show, “The Drew Barrymore Show.”The actress and host slowly morphed into her foxy guest, who has become known for her daring fashion sense, see-through looks and barely-there garments that leave little to the imagination.Barrymore, 48, began the interview by informing Fox, who was promoting her new memoir “Down the Drain,” that she admired her style.“I would love to be like you,” she told Fox. “Could you make me into you?”As the two women continued their discussion, the “Forbidden Fruits” podcaster helped the “Charlie’s Angels” actress tap into her inner Fox by giving her a smoky eye, complete with dramatic eyeliner and eyeshadow.Barrymore then asked the 33-year-old if she has a future in the fashion world, saying: “I wanted to ask you if you’ve ever thought about doing a fashion show?” Fox then announced she is indeed launching a new competition show called “OMG Fashun!,” which is described on the website as “the craziest, most rule-breaking fashion competition for a major TV network.”It was at that moment that Barrymore bolted off the stage, leaving her guest in a state of shock.
