"What remains, however, is good enough, thanks to a superb performance by Fradiani as performer/Diamond, perfectly capturing his 'gravel-wrapped-in-velvet' voice and on stage mannerisms, although physically he looks more like the Fonz than the leather-fringed superstar. As the older Diamond, Robert Westenberg doesn't fare as well, totally unrecognizable in physicality or spirit as he exposes his inner self to his therapist, played by Lisa Reneé Pitts. Kohn is especially good as Diamond's second wife Marcia, delivering a strutting performance of 'Forever in Blue Jeans' while parading across the stage."
