Producers Ken Davenport and Bob Gaudio (who was one of the original Four Seasons depicted in Jersey Boys) have announced today that a new biographical musical telling the incredible life story of legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond is currently in the works for Broadway. Tony winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) will direct with a book by three-time Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten, who has written three films (The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, and Bohemian Rhapsody) that won an Oscar for Best Actor.

ReplyOk so I was thinking this through last night and lets say it has around the same amount as Beautiful and the CHER show in terms of song. What songs besides these do you guys think will be used since these seem to be the ones radio stations/oldie stations play the most:

https://nypost.com/2020/01/23/neil-diamond-visibly-moved-by-broadway-bio-musical/I’m surprised Michael Riedel didn’t reveal that it was Will Swenson who was playing Neil Diamond at that industry reading, which is what Broadway.com is reporting. Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see if he ultimately goes on to play the role on Broadway. https://www.broadway.com/buzz/198214/will-swenson-stars-as-neil-diamond-in-industry-reading-of-new-bio-musical/
