A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL - Reviews & News Thread — Page 13

I hope not, either. But he did post that early enough. Probably just and IV with antibiotics. They are taping their Thanksgiving CBS performance tomorrow at 11:30am and have heavily advertised it with Nick. If anything, Nick will do the taping and then they'll opt to have Max do the evening performance.

It'll be launching a national tour starting September 2024. Haven't heard of any of other productions yet.

this show has become the surprise hit of the season despite the reviews."

They've definitely found a way to lean into their target audience. At this rate, it'll outrun Kimberly Akimbo, the best reviewed show of that season too if all remains as it is currently. Post-pandemic, reviews truly have negligible impact on longevity of a show (that is, unless it gets absolutely panned i.e. Bad Cindy/Camelot). But in those cases, it's more putting them out of their misery for a predestined closure rather than something that's doing fine business being skewered and then closing."

I think Akimbo has run too long to close in January at this rate. If anything, they may announce closing in January for sometime in the spring (which Stone has done before, for If/Then).

They did an amazing job with their CBS Thanksgiving Day performance today. It will be a medley that ends with Sweet Caroline. Nick sounded good despite missing 3 shows earlier this week.

It was just Nick Fradiani and a 12 member ensemble (show normally runs with ten). No Mimi, Vanessa(new cast member starting tonight) or Aaron. 5/6 swings were included: Ninako, Sam, Robert, Sean and Aveena.

I wonder what she's doing next and also who is replacing her

Mimi Scardulla posted on Instagram that she played her last performance earlier this month and will be out due to injury

Robyn Hurder is FIERCE in this show. "Forever In Blue Jeans" is my favorite number from the show. Her acting, singing, and dancing are all perfect. She is the true definition of a triple threat.

CONGRATS. So many people dismissed this show a year ago - happy to see it celebrating today 

I haven't been following the show much at all, but can anyone tell me where the rush seats have been for this? I'm debating on trying rush at some point or just buying a regular ticket.

OBC leaving this month.

Sam Gershman(swing) - Dec. 3

Aaron James McKenzie - Dec. 14

Robyn Hurder(Marcia) - Dec. 17

Robert Pendilla(swing/dance captain) - Dec. 22

Mary Page Nance - Dec. 31

 

Aveena Sawyer has officially replaced Mimi Scardulla. Annie Wallace (Aladdin Bway) is replacing Mary Page Nance. Still no announcement on who's replacing Robyn.

I absolutely cannot see this. I could sooner see Hugh Jackman in a blonde wig. But Amber reads way too young and way not right for that part.
