THE UNUSAL BACK STORY BEHIND THE MUSICAL

When the creative team began developing the show, they faced a challenge: Neil Diamond had dozens of famous songs, but his personal story is surprisingly introspective. Rather than simply telling his life chronologically, writer Anthony McCarten (who also wrote Bohemian Rhapsody) built the musical around therapy sessions between an older Neil Diamond and his psychiatrist.

The songs emerge as memories, allowing the audience to see how his music reflected different stages of his life. Join us September 8 for our Melbourne departure to a brilliant tribute for a legendary musician.

Should be a show stopping night and a tour highlight.
