ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- The Atlantic City Hilton and Resorts Atlantic City will present Barry Manilow at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, October 14. Barry Manilow will perform his blockbuster hits as well as highlights from his celebrated "Manilow: Music and Passion" show that he created for his long-term engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton that began in 2005. This one-night-only event will be Manilow's first performance in Atlantic City in nearly 10 years.

Tickets for Barry Manilow will go on sale Saturday, May 6 at 10 am. Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are priced at $275, $250, $175, $125 and $75 and will be available online at www.ticketmaster.com, via phone at 1-800-736-1420, and at the Atlantic City Hilton Box Office.

"Resorts International's presentation of Barry Manilow at Boardwalk Hall signals a new beginning for Hilton and Resorts in Atlantic City, and demonstrates the incredible strength and resources of our company coast to coast," said Tony Rodio, president of the Atlantic City Hilton Casino. "This concert event is indicative of the nationwide benefits that our guests can expect, and they will continue to reap the rewards with our new company-wide players program that we are planning to introduce this summer."

"This is an extremely rare and special opportunity for Manilow fans in the Atlantic City region, as he has been performing at our sister property, the Las Vegas Hilton, since February 2005 and will continue to do so through 2008," said Rodio.

"I've been in Las Vegas performing for more than a year with an incredible new show," said Manilow. "I look forward to seeing my friends and fans in Atlantic City and performing highlights from that new show and many of my hits through the years."

The Las Vegas Hilton has been the home of Barry Manilow's show "Manilow: Music and Passion" since February 2005. In March 2006, The Las Vegas Hilton joined Barry Manilow in celebrating the recent "platinum" certification of The Greatest Songs of the Fifties (with sales in excess of 1,000,000 units) and his one-year anniversary at the resort by extending his long-term engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton through 2008.

Barry Manilow's unparalleled career encompasses virtually every arena of music, including performing, composing, arranging and producing. A Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Manilow has triumphed in every medium of entertainment. Industry charts rank him the undisputed Number One Adult Contemporary Artist of All Time with record sales exceeding 65 million world-wide.

In 1974, Manilow's release of "Mandy" launched an unprecedented career and 25 consecutive Top-40 hits including "Even Now," "This One's for You," "Weekend in New England," "I Write the Songs," and "Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again." Four years later, five of Manilow's albums were on the charts simultaneously -- a record rivaled only by Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis.

Among his 44 albums are such diverse musical styles as The Greatest Songs of the Fifties (2006), Manilow Scores: Songs from Copacabana and Harmony (2004), Manilow Sings Sinatra (1998), Singin' with the Big Bands (1994), Showstoppers (1991), Swing Street (1987), 2:00 A.M. Paradise Cafe (1984), and many others, including 38 Top 40 Hits. Albums he has produced for other artists, including Bette Midler, Nancy Wilson, and Dionne Warwick have been nominated for Grammy Awards.
