The Doctor is in the house! The Doctor of A Beautiful Noise that is in Fab House!
She is Lisa Renee' Pitts, who plays "Doctor" in "A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical", a musical I took "Judi with an i for travel" from Cleveland's Connor Stage to the St. Louis' gem that IS The Fabulous Fox!
When I saw the show in Cleveland, tbh, I wasn't going to think I'd love it that much other than Neil and I share the same last name (No relation, unfortunately for me!). Well, let me say this: A Beautiful Noise, the Neil Diamond Musical is one of THE BEST musicals I've seen IN YEARS! I had NO IDEA all the songs that Neil had written! I knew almost every single song! AND I had no idea he wrote music that other artists made big hits, like UB40's "Red Red Wine" or The Monkees "I'm a Believer"!
Well, I am MORE than a Believer now that I LOVE this musical!! It was even better the second time I saw it! SO if you get a chance to see any Broadway show, put this on the top of your list!
I got a chance to chat with the "Doctor" (who btw is on stage the entire show!) and would love for you to take a listen on the podcast, you'll find some really cool little tidbits! Here's Lisa's info too:
