Barry Manilow is nervous about bringing his stage musical Harmony to Broadway after Sting's show The Last Ship was unsuccessful last year.
The 71-year-old Mandy singer revealed that he hopes his show will be more popular on the New York stage than Sting's.
Speaking to Billboard, Manilow said, "I saw his show. It was beautiful - beautiful score, very interesting show, he did a beautiful job and they lost everything.
"You just don't play around with this Broadway musical thing unless you just want to lose everything. You put your heart and your soul into it, and when it doesn't work, as most of them don't, it just takes a piece out of you. But I've been working Harmony for so many years and I so believe in it and it's such great work, I'd just like to see it through to the end."
