Barry Manilow’s hit musical, Copacabana, is returning to the UK with a new tour which starts in October.

Buy the original West End cast soundtrack from Amazon.co.uk

Written by Manilow and his longtime collaborators Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman, the story is based on Manilow’s hit song about a waitress and pianist who fall for each other at Manhattan’s Copacabana Lounge.

The song was originally adapted into a film, before transferring to the stage as a musical which first premiered in the UK in 1994 and enjoyed a sell-out two years in London’s West End.

Producers say the new production will “reimagine the original stage version” when it opens at Harlow Playhouse on Thursday 2 October 2014.

Former S Club 7 member Jon Lee will star as Tony Starr opposite Emmerdale’s Richard Grieve as Sam Silver and newcomer Jennifer Harding as Lola.

Barry Manilow said: “I’m honoured that Copacabana will return to the UK Stage and send my wishes for success to Jon, Richard, and the entire company.”
