October 15 return confirmed in on-site reporting
Barry Manilow returned to the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas on Thursday, October 15, according to John Katsilometes’ October 16 report for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The column describes the performance and includes photographs dated October 15.
FOX5 had reported an official announcement that performances would resume October 15, with October 16 and 17 also scheduled. The later Review-Journal account confirms the Thursday return; it does not establish that every subsequent performance took place.
Representatives confirm two affected performances
Barry Manilow’s Friday, October 9, performance at the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas ended early, and the Saturday, October 10, performance was canceled. Representatives for Manilow and the resort told Variety that bronchitis caused both affected shows, according to an October 10 report from People.
The representative statement followed Manilow’s completed Thursday, October 8, return performance. This report does not infer anything beyond the announced bronchitis diagnosis or make a medical prediction about when he can perform again.
Why an older homepage listing is not enough
Manilow’s official homepage still displayed October 8–10 under upcoming events when reviewed October 17. That stale listing should not be used to decide whether a past show occurred or whether a later performance will proceed. The October 15 return is supported by the newer reporting above.
For future dates, check the current listing and notices from the original ticket seller, Westgate or Manilow. A published residency schedule is not a guarantee against a later change.
What ticket holders can verify
People reported that some Friday attendees said Ticketmaster emailed them about refunds, but the official artist homepage did not publish a public refund policy for these dates. Ticket holders should keep their purchase confirmation and check the account or point of sale used for the original order; refund method and timing can depend on the seller and transaction.
Westgate is at 3000 Paradise Road. Travelers should confirm their specific performance before making a special trip and retain the original purchase confirmation for any ticket inquiry.
