VIDEO: Go Behind A BEAUTIFUL NOISE With Will Swenson on GOOD MORNING AMERICA
A Beautiful Noise will return to Good Morning America for a special performing tomorrow, December 8.
This morning, Good Morning America went behind the scenes of A Beautiful Noise on Broadway with the musical's star, Will Swenson.
"The crowd knows his sound and his movements and his mannerisms. They are so hungry to give that love to him and I think, 'I haven't earned this. This is not for me.' They're literally giving that love that they feel for Neil to me because I'm standing in his theatre shoes," Swenson shared.
Swenson took viewers backstage through his 17 costume changes, ending back on stage in a rendition of "Sweet Caroline." Watch the new segment below!
