Gelbe Federn im Haar und ein Kleid, das bis sonstwohin ausgeschnitten war: So beschreibt Barry Manilow in seinem Hit COPACABANA die Tanzerin Lola, deren Liebe zu Sanger und Barkeeper Tony ein tragisches Ende nimmt. Denn Lola gefallt auch Rico, dem Mafioso und Besitzer des New Yorker Kult-Clubs 'Copacabana'. Und bevor das Eifersuchtsdrama seinen Lauf nimmt, mixt der Barkeeper noch rasch einen Manhattan - oder noch besser: einen Golden Copacabana. In einer Inszenierung von Iris Limbarth bringt das Landestheater Coburg das Musical COPACABANA, basierend auf dem Hitsong, jetzt erstmal nach Deutschland. Julia Klemm gibt die Hauptrolle der Lola, außerdem stehen unter anderem Gero Wendorff und Andreas Langsch auf der Buhne.
