December 4, 2022 – Theater District, Manhattan:
The special opening night of “A Beautiful Noise”, featuring an unforgettable red-carpet entrance by Neil Diamond himself and his family for most likely a never-to-be-seen-again, surprise moment with one of the recording industry’s greatest living legends.
NYC VIBE was on hand to capture all of the electricity and excitement when the Grammy Award winning musician stopped traffic on West 44th Street at the Broadhurst Theater to wave to fans who were delighted to see the idol they grew up.
With his first break into songwriting in the 1960s and his meteoric rise in the 1970s, and plenty of crushing disappointments and heart-stopping triumphs along the way, Neil Diamond has maintained an almost unthinkable level of superstardom for five straight decades
NYC VIBE asked legendary music producer Clive Davis how did a poor Jewish kid from Brooklyn become one of the most universally adored showmen of all time?
The cast of A Beautiful Noise is led by Tony Award® nominee Will Swenson as Neil Diamond (back then) , Mark Jacoby as Neil Diamond (now) with Robyn Hurder as Marcia,(his second wife) and Linda Powell as the Doctor.
The theater came to its feet at the end when Neil stood up, was handed a microphone and sang Sweet Caroline to the adorning crowd who savored every word.
