‘American Idol’ Winner Will Headline National Neil Diamond Musical Tour
In 2015, Nick Fradiani won season 14 of American Idol. At age 29, he tied season 5’s Taylor Hicks as the oldest to ever nab the title. Now, the Milford, Connecticut native is preparing to step into the legendary shoes of singer-songwriter Neil Diamond. Fradiani is set to star in the national tour of A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical.
‘American Idol’ Winner Channels Neil Diamond
Neil Diamond’s 60-year career has spawned 38 top 10 singles and 100 million records sold worldwide. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.
A Beautiful Noise tells the story of Diamond’s rise “from contract songwriter to sequin-studded superstar,” according to Broadway Across America. And of course, it’s got a killer soundtrack, featuring hits like “Sweet Caroline,” “Red Red Wine,” and “I’m a Believer.”
Currently, Fradiani stars as Neil Diamond (Then) in the show at Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre. The American Idol winner will close out that chapter on June 30. Then, the national tour kicks off in September at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Fradiani will grace more than 25 cities as Diamond in the show’s first year.
