NEW YORK — Barry Manilow is going back to his first love — not Mandy, but musical theater.
Almost 50 years after he was nominated for his first Grammy, producing Bette Midler’s “The Divine Miss M,” Manilow and longtime collaborator Bruce Sussman are finally bringing their original musical “Harmony” to the stage.
“I never really thought about becoming a singer or an entertainer or a performer. It never dawned on me,” the 78-year-old Brooklyn native told the Daily News.
