Copacabana, also known as Barry Manilow's Copacabana, is a 1994 stage musical with music by Barry Manilow, lyrics by Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman, and book by Manilow, Sussman and Feldman. The show had its roots in an hour-long stage show, Barry Manilow Presents Copacabana, which played in Atlantic City in 1990 and 1991. The stage show was based on the 1985 musical TV film of the same name, in turn based on Manilow's 1978 hit song of the same title, which was co-written by Manilow, Sussman and Feldman. The full-length musical, which added a present-day framing device and many additional songs, premiered in the United Kingdom in 1994 and later toured the United States. A cast album of the musical was released in 1994, titled Copacabana: Original London Cast Recording. Atlantic City stage show (1990–1991) Barry Manilow Presents Copacabana was an hour-long show for Caesars Circus Maximus Theatre in Atlantic City. It starred Sean Sullivan as Tony/Stephen and Hillary Turk as Lola. It ran from September 1990 to June 1991 and had a cast of 20 singers and dancers which Manilow directed, with a script and song score created by Manilow and his longtime collaborators Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman. The song list and plot closely matched that of the 1985 TV movie. The show played to over 100,000 people in its first six months and received rave reviews as the "must-see casino show" in Atlantic City. Though in the TV movie the character of Lola was stated as being from Chicago, from this adaptation on forward Lola was instead from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
