| | Floridian: The reluctant pop superstar |
 | | The hit song about Lola, an aspiring songwriter, and the sleazy owner of the Copa, didn't give Manilow much to work with in developing a full-blown musical. | | | There are 19 songs in Copacabana, but Manilow fans in the audience have to wait for the one they came to hear. | | | Just because you can write a story song -- and he is the most brilliant songwriter we have ever had -- doesn't mean you can write a musical. |

| | The Hottest Spot North of Havana? / It will be San Jose, thanks to Barry Manilow and the musical 'Copacabana' |
| | His favorite from the musical "Copacabana" is "Who Needs to Dream?," though he still has evident awe for the title song. | | | The musical "Copacabana" expands on the story told in the song's lyrics: A 1940s show girl named Lola (Darcie Roberts) works at the Copacabana nightclub in New York, loves bartender Tony (D'Ambrosio) and is pursued by the villainous Rico (Philip Hernandez). | | | Although his hit "I Write the Songs" has helped create the widespread impression that Manilow is primarily a songwriter, he is foremost an interpretive singer and acknowledges that most of his writing is a collaborative effort. |

| | But mega hit singer-songwriter Barry Manilow has breathed new life into his 1978 hit, ``Copacabana,'' by turning it into a musical. | | | But ``Copacabana'' was a departure for Manilow and the spicy, sexy song rocketed onto the Top 40 list and spent nine weeks there. | | | Unlike the popular ``Mamma Mia!'' - a retrospective of Abba hits from the 1970s - ``Copa'' features original music written specifically for the musical, Manilow does not perform. |

| | This assembly of memorable songs from memorable shows has a wealth of great material, but suffers from the limitations of a cast that while enthusiastic in their tasks, lack the skills necessary to pull off the unique combination of song, dance, comedy and dramatic performance that the modern musical demands of performers. | | | The entire story is told within the framework of the thought process of a song writer writing the song "Copacabana" and all the key characters turn out to be people from his own life. | | | The song on which the show is based isnt delivered as a single big production number so much as it is threaded throughout the evening so that the final use of the song as the curtain call number seems like the final reprise. |

| | Rachel Spargo is superb playing Rico's girl Conchita, but her musical talent is sadly wasted in a role with only one song. | | | With the exclusion of the title song, the soundtrack to this play is unknown to most, but there isn't a dud song to be heard - even when the microphones are working properly. | | | Mark Oates gives Jesus a wide-eyed innocence and celebrity status that is refreshing, but when the inevitable agony replaces the hosanna ecstasy, he is compelling and his pure voice echoes the thorny torment he must embrace. |
