One of our ultimate dance divas is heading on a national tour, playing major arenas around the US! We're talking possibly Madison Square Garden here, kids! Not every day you see dance divas playing for thousands in venues like that!!
Unfortunately, you'll have to shell out big bucks... Kristine W will be the opening act for Barry Manilow on his An Evening of Music and Passion Tour, and right now floor seats are going for $250 bucks or so. Right now, Barry is the resident act at the Las Vegas Hilton - the same place where, if you've read our feature on Kristine back in May you already know, Kristine used to be the resident performer. It was at the Las Vegas Hilton where she performed more shows in Vegas history than ANY other performer... Elvis included! Anyway, she has a long history with the Hilton, so it's no wonder that they decided to pair Manilow up with one of their longstanding success stories. Way to go, Kristine!!!
Kristine W, back in her Hilton showgirl days!
Barry Manilow, best known for songs like "Copacabana," "Could it Be Magic," "Mandy," and "Can't Smile Without You"
Anyhow, only two non-Vegas dates have been announced for the tour so far: Boston and Philadelphia. However, we have it on good authority that Kristine won't be joining the tour until after those shows... once it hits the road for additional cities in 2008. Oh well, at least that gives you all plenty of time to start saving up!
This is definitely great news for Kristine, as it's going to give her a chance to bring her music to a whole new audience... and it probably means that her jazz album is almost finished!! Cause let's face it, she probably won't be performing the Rauhofer remix of "Some Lovin'" for Barry Manilow fans, right? ;) But who knows... Kristine has always said that dance music is her love and joy, so maybe she'll throw in a few house hits and help bring dance to a new audience.
We'll keep you posted as dates are announced... but for now, enjoy the news of this unlikely... okay, bizarre... but very cool pairing!
Later guys,
JOHNNY
