That’ll be 39 more performances of Mandy this year alone. Hooray?

While it’s always a little sad when a former Hasselhoff haunt doesn’t get Hasselhoffed a second time, Paris Las Vegas is dusting off its theater — former home of The Producers — for Barry Manilow, who moves onto the Strip after wrapping at The Hilton at the end of the year.

Manilow takes over March 5 for a two-year gig directed by Jeffrey Hornaday (Flashdance, A Chorus Line, High School Musical), where he’s only banging out 78 shows a year. Tickets go on sale today and are priced at $95, $125, $175 and the sit-in-Barry’s-lap price of $250. Front-row tickets are available by auction, and Weekly Platinum Experience Tickets, which include a front-row seat, Champagne reception, meet-and-greet and autographed program — and are only available to members of the Manilow Fund — will have proceeds go to the Manilow Music Project, benefitting area middle and high school music programs.

“The audience in Vegas is always energized and electric, so I know that the Paris Las Vegas is going to be a special run,” Manilow said in a statement. “I’m planning something new for this performance; definitely not to be missed.”
