About this experience

Thursdays, 10:00 – 11:30 am 
February 20 – February 27 
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church 

In March 2025, the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts will present  A Beautiful Noise – the inspiring musical based on the life and music of recording icon Neil Diamond. In it, the audience will experience a fictional tale based on the real-life struggles and triumphs of this entertainment legend. But what is the real story of Neil Diamond? What made him so famous? Why do songs like “America”, “Sweet Caroline”, and “Cracklin’ Rosie” still make us stand up and sing along, years after they were written? For those answers and more, come experience our two-part lecture series on the legend himself, and see why this “icon of the unhip” is one of the biggest stars of all time. (Note: Course may contain offensive language and material.  It’s rock and roll!)  

  1. Solitary Man
  2. The Unhip Icon  

This course is held in tandem with the 2024-25 Broadway season at the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts and provides a deeper understanding and context for "A Beautiful Noise" before an optional viewing of the musical.  "A Beautiful Noise" musical tickets are sold separately on the first day of class.
