Here At The Mayflower was opening on Broadway Tuesday September 29, 2015 at the Broadway Theatre 1,761.  With Joe Balogna as Joe, Lorna Luft as Esther,  Diane De Garmo as Diane Parr and Ace Young as Kenneth Stone. Someone had suggested that Brian Murphy play the tenant in 1A. However Brian Murphy was going on tour when they were casting for the tenant in 1A. So they got someone else to fill the roll. Now this was Copacabana's second time on Broadway. Copacabana's first time on Broadway was back in November of 1978. In June of 1979 Copacabana swept the Tony Awards winning every Tony it was nominated for. In June of 2001 Harmony swept the Tony Awards winning every Tony it was nominated for. So in 2005 Copacabana came back to Broadway playing the Gershwin Theatre. So in June 2006 Copacabana won Tony Awards for best revival musical.  In June 2012 15 Minutes swept the Tony Awards winning every Tony it was nominated for. With Here At The Mayflower doing rehearsals in July, previews in August and opening on Tuesday September 29, 2015. Something special that Barry was doing on Sunday September 6.  Then vacation between Sunday September 13 and Saturday September 26. Barry would have gone on vacation right after the something special. However Tuesday September 8 was opening night  of the Here At The Mayflower previews. Now that was something Barry didn't want to miss. Barry was going to be off the road after June 20. Then Barry was going back out on the road at the end of October. He was playing  a few cities in the US and cities In Canada. Barry was doing US cities Anchorage Alaska, Minneapolis Minnesota, Kansas City Kansas, Lincoln Nebraska, Indianapolis Indiana and New York City New York. Canada cities Vancouver British Columbia, Edmonton Alberta, Regina Saskatchewan,  Winnipeg Manitoba, Toronto Ontario, Quebec City and Montreal Quebec. Oh BTW can you say maybe a Guinness Book of World Records for being the first Broadway songwriter to having four musical on Broadway at one time.
