- Nick Fradiani currently portrays Neil Diamond (Then) on Broadway every Wednesday night at the Broadhurst Theater in NYC. This was recorded live at Dexter’s Lab Studio in Milford, CT.
One of the best impressions of Neil Diamond I've ever heard!
My husband, daughter and I went to Nick’s first Broadway performance as Young Neil in “A Beautiful Noise” and he was fantastic!!! We were shocked as my husband and I had only heard his high vocal talent he was blessed with. His voice as Neil Diamond was spot on!!! Nick should not be an alternate only 2x a week. He is the real deal.
You get your wish. He will take over the role from Will Svenson on October 30, 2023.
You got your wish! I saw this in September and fortunately it was on a night he filled in…
He is in it full time now.
We Just saw it last Sunday and he was fantasic. The whole show wow!!
Agree. He was the best choice!
No other way to put it: "Flawless!" Please give us more Neil Diamond covers!!!
Wow one of the best cover🎙🎙🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Been big Neal Diamond fan for years and it's just incredible. Close your eyes and you're listing to Neal Diamond.
Just amazing. I am 70 years old and seldom cry anymore this brought tears to my old dry eyes. Thank you!!!!
Amazing, me too, I'm 69 , from Québec , my English is not good, but I understand enough , the song and I love Neil Diamond and all the song with the words who can touch my heart , sorry for my bad English ...XXX
How beautiful that Neil Diamond ‘s legacy lives on through Nick. Wow I'm in tears.
Jesus!!! He's good,! Brought a grown man here, to tears.😍
Wow, Nick..The best of the best! You did Neil proud! I can listen to this over and over again! ❤
Absolutely wonderful! I grew up with Neil Diamond playing as my mother was a huge fan. My husband is a huge AC/DC, Def Leppard, hard rock fan - but has a secret obsession with Neil Diamond music. When I started playing this he shouted from the other room "TURN IT UP!!!" and came out of the bedroom singing along. He was shocked when I said "And that wasn't even Neil."
Just sat here and played this for my husband. We were signing it together. Whe it was over I showed him ot wasn't Neil. He was blown away. I can't imagine being the casting director when you came in to play and audition for the part. Well done. Goosebumps
I’ve listened to enough Diamond songs to say this is tremendous
Dude you killed it !!!!
My husband is a huge Neil Diamond fan, not so much musicals, but he wanted to see this based on the music- Nick brought all of us to tears. Absolutely amazing!!!
I'm close to 80 years of age and I just want to "Thank You" for sharing this "Wonderful" video with us. God Bless.
His voice is just as haunting as Neil's
You were amazing, Nick! I cried when you sang...perfection. Congrats on your Bway debut and much success in upcoming shows... Bravo!
Besides Neil this is the best version i ever heard
I didn’t see this coming…. WOW
Wow. My Grandmother took me to see ND when I was 10, front row. I can’t imagine what she paid for those tickets right after the jazz singer came out. I never understood why she wanted me to go and I became a lifelong fan at the age of 10 of Neil Diamond’s music. Also a fan of American Idol so this was a shocker of a surprise. Nick is incredible.
I just saw Nick as Neil Diamond in "A Beautiful Noise", He was superb! Sounded exactly like Neil Diamond. Fabulous performer!!!!
WOW WOW
Mind blown how good this is Nick. I hear Neal throughout the song but at the end I hear you. Really made me feel the lyrics of this song 🥹
Your acoustic version is fantastic! A big fan since American Idol, sorry it's been a tough journey, but you belong on Broadway! A wonderful interpreter of classic songs like Neil Diamond!
Talk about a cover that hits home on the angst of this incredible song. Great job Nick and love the subtle changes. Release this as a single!
I want to see this when it come to Milwaukee, WI I love Nick Fradiani!!!!
Just saw Nick this past weekend in "A Beautiful Noise." He was so perfect that it's hard for me to imagine another. And yes, this rendition of the song is unbelievable. I'm joining those of you with tears of joy.
I love Neil and you’ve captured him perfectly, however this song never made me truly bawl before. I’m sure the loss of my old girl dog enters into it but damn dude!!! Nick you nailed this!!!
Your heart n soul makes this special.
Finger picking so spot on!! And then to strum… ❤
Likewise I saw Nick as Neil Diamond and I was spellbound as was the whole audience. Continued success to Nick.🎉
Totally stunning 🔥. An incredible rendition of one of Neil Diamond’s finest songs.
OMG I love Neil diamond and you did this song so perfect Nick. You sounded just like Neil diamond. Thank you for the great song and the memories
I was SO incredibly touched with Nick’s performance in The Beautiful Noise I keep listening to these videos over and over! My God Nick, you just shine!
Nick, what an amazing voice!
Nick has nailed the sound of Neil, and honestly is actually a step or two above. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship in every way. Wow..
Incredible homage to a legend by a very worthy Idol winner.
Nick Fradiani nailed it best!! Mirrors exactly Neil Diamond’s feeling for his beautiful noise
INCREDIBLE!!!!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE!
This is a really good impression of Neil Diamond!
Saw Beautiful Noise in Boston and on Broadway with WillSwenson. Was bummed when Inheard Will Swenson was leaving. Had to check this guy out…was pleasantly surprised! Nobody will ever match Neil’s ahmazing voice,but this guy is pretty good.
Awesome rendition of that great song. The best cover ever to be done on it.
Currently waiting in the audience of A Beautiful Noise to watch Nick go on as Neil Diamond tonight! What a journey!
Enjoy!
Unbelievable, this is incredible, I vote for more Neil Diamond covers too!!!
This is off the charts good! Incredible voice and guitar skills to match! Take a bow!

Just saw Nick on last night's Idol finale. WOW. What a voice. What a presence. He's also just so beyond beautiful!!!! Now I'm on a mission to hear everything he's been doing. (This is so good!!!)

A week ago I went to the Broadway show. What an experience! Still enjoying!
Nick, traveled to New York on the worst day in the past 60 years to hear you play and watch you perform. It was worth it! You did an amazing jo b in front of a packed theater. Can't wait until you make it back to CT and perform again at the "Kate".

Beautiful
I closed my eyes and this was neil diamond singing
This song always make me cry.
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair.❤
very good !!
