The concert will feature highlight some of Fradiani’s favorite Diamond hits that were cut from the show.
Fradiani said, “Neil had over 50 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100. At the stage door, so many people ask about their favorite 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?”
