David Siegel is not in the business of offering lifetime contracts. But Barry Manilow is again an exception.


The owner of Westgate and the pop legend have agreed on such a contract. Manilow is now serving a Lifetime Residency, as formally announced. Manilow will perform in the resort’s open-ended International Theater. A set of 48 dates is booked until December 2025.


In September 2023, Manilow overtook Elvis Presley’s record of 636 performances at the International Theater. Are popular Christmas production returns Thursday through Saturday and December 12 through 14 (westgateresorts.com). For the second holiday season in a row, the show will air on NBC on December 19 at 10 p.m.


Until his offer to Manilow, Siegel has not offered a lifetime contract to anyone since he founded Westgate Resorts in 1982. The Lifetime Residency is largely a symbolic gesture, and a powerful one, reinforcing Siegel and Westgate’s commitment to the superstar.


The terms and vision for Manilow’s partnership are unchanged. Siegel has said since Manilow opened in May 2018 that the “Mandy” hitmaker would perform as long as he wants.


“David Siegel and the Westgate team have been like family to me,” Manilow, 81, said in a statement. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to call Westgate my home for the rest of my career.”


Siegel called Manilow “a generational artist and a dear friend.” The resort magnate added: “Over the years we have built a personal and professional relationship that is truly special, and I am honored to offer Barry the opportunity to perform at Westgate for a lifetime.”
