From April 18 to June 10, 1989, Manilow put on a show called "Barry Manilow at the Gershwin", making 44 appearances at the Gershwin Theatre (also known as the Uris Theatre), where he had also recorded "Barry Manilow Live" in 1976. A best-selling 90-minute video of the same show was released the following year as "Barry Manilow Live On Broadway". The Showtime one-hour special "Barry Manilow SRO on Broadway" consisted of edited highlights from this video. Manilow followed this set of shows with a world tour of the Broadway show.
