Sunday was opening night on Broadway for A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical and the man himself came out to see it. The audience was already in for a treat, but they got more than that when he decided to sing Sweet Caroline with them.
Since Diamond revealed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2018, he rarely sings in public anymore. Therefore, this had to be so thrilling for everyone in the Broadhurst Theatre, including the cast, who sing his songs every day, but Monday.
I think Neil Diamond still sounds great, and I wish, if he is healthy enough, would do a residency in Los Angeles. I would love to see him sing because I have always heard it is an experience. And it is all about me.
