Copacabana
by Waris Hussein
from Image Entertainment
Based on the ever-popular Barry Manilow song, 1985's Copacabana is a light, innocuous hour and a half. Dime-a-dance girl Lola LaMar (Annette O'Toole) longs to showcase her talents at NYC's famous Copacabana club. She and bartender-songwriter Tony Starr (Manilow) meet cute and fall in love with visions of fame dancing in their heads. O'Toole's strong voice and sexy shimmers are showcased in "Man Wanted," while Manilow shines in "Who Needs to Dream" and "Sweet Heaven (I'm in Love Again)." When suave Rico (Joe Bologna) offers Lola a headliner at his Havana nightclub Tropicana, she jumps at the chance. Broken-hearted Tony stays behind singing the blues until he discovers Rico's intentions are not honorable. A big dance number and rescue ensue. But as in the song, there is a showdown at the end and Lola is left alone with faded feathers in her hair. Campy and clean, Copacabana gives musical fans a fix but leaves them wishing for a little more substance. --Dana Van Nest
The tune-filled story of star-crossed lovers Tony and Lola comes to life in this delightful musical. Bringing his hit song to life, Barry Manilow stars as Tony, a struggling young pianist/composer at New York's famous Copacabana nightclub who falls for beautiful showgirl Lola ("Smallville's" Annette O'Toole). Love is in the air, but smarmy rival nighclub owner Rico (Joseph Bologna) offers Lola a shot at the big time performing in Havana. When heartbroken Tony learns that Rico's intentions are not exactly honorable, chaos ensues! An irresistible combination of Manilow's infectious melodies, splashy song and dance numbers, and glitzy costumes, "Copacabana" is a delirious musical romp the whole family will enjoy!

Judith Krantz's Princess Daisy
by Waris Hussein
from Delta
She was born Princess Marguerite Alexandrovna Valensky, but everyone called her Daisy. Daisy is the daughter of an American movie goddess, Francesca Vernon (Lindsay Wagner) and the playboy Russian Prince, Stash Valensky (Stacy Keach.)
Daisy was a blonde beauty living in a world of aristocrats and countless wealth. Men desired her. Women envied her. Daisy's life was a fairytale filled with parties and balls, priceless jewels, money and love. Then suddenly the fairytale ended, and Princess Daisy had to start again, with nothing, except the secret she guarded from the day she was born.
Across an international landscape stretching from the horse-drawn carriages of pre-Revolutionary Russia to the magic whirl of New York's Madison Avenue, Judith Krantz, who gave the world Scruples, has created a glittering dream of a story filled with secrets and discoveries, filled with glamour and pain, filled with sadness and joy. And the beating pulse of it all is Princess Daisy. The ultimate heroine.
