Nick Fradiani Will Headline Post-Show Concert for A BEAUTIFUL NOISE Canadian Premiere
The American Idol winner will perform Neil Diamond songs at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre.
A bonus post-show concert will mark the Canadian premiere of A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical. Nick Fradiani, who stars as Neil Diamond in this Broadway touring production and who is the winner of American Idol Season 14, will perform a bonus post-show concert of Neil Diamond songs after the Friday May 8 performance. The event, titled Nick at Nite: Nick Fradiani Sings More Neil will also feature members of the A Beautiful Noise band.
Fradiani said, “Neil had over 50 songs on Billboard's Hot 100. At the stage door, so many people ask about their favourite song and while A Beautiful Noise is packed with hits, the creators had to leave some songs out. This is our chance to celebrate even more of his classic tunes. ‘Heartlight' anyone?”
This exclusive post-show concert is free with a ticket to the Friday, May 8th performance of A Beautiful Noise in Toronto.

About the Show
Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Noise is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans," and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway-and head out on the road across America.
Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.
A Beautiful Noise is directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), choreographed by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and written by four-time Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Two Popes).
The design team for A Beautiful Noise features Tony Award winner David Rockwell (Scenic Design), Tony Award nominee Emilio Sosa (Costume Design), four-time Tony Award winner Kevin Adams (Lighting Design), Tony Award winner Jessica Paz (Sound Design), and Luc Verschueren (Hair and Wig Design). The production has Music Supervision and Arrangements by Sonny Paladino, Incidental Music and Dance Music Arrangements by Brian Usifer, Vocal Design by AnnMarie Milazzo, and Orchestrations by Bob Gaudio, Sonny Paladino, and Brian Usifer. The team also includes Jamie Harrison (Illusion Design), Kathy Fabian (Production Properties Supervisor), Jim Carnahan, CSA and Jason Thinger, CSA (Casting), Madeline McCluskey of Gentry & Associates (General Management) and Hector Guivas of NETworks Presentations (Production Management).
