About BUFFALO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA and SIMONE PORTER:

Multiple Grammy Award®-winning conductor JOANN FALLETTA serves as Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Music Director Laureate of the Virginia Symphony, Principal Guest Conductor of the Brevard Music Center and Conductor Laureate of the Hawaii Symphony. She was named one of the 50 great conductors of all time by Gramophone Magazine and ASCAP has honored her as “a leading force for music of our time.”  

As Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Falletta became the first woman to lead a major American orchestra. She has guest-conducted over a hundred orchestras in North America, and many of the most prominent orchestras in Europe, Asia and South America. She is a leading recording artist for Naxos, and has won two individual Grammy Awards. Her Naxos recording of John Corigliano’s Mr. Tambourine Man with the BPO received two Grammys. Her Scriabin recording with the BPO was nominated for a 2024 Grammy for Best Orchestral Performance.  

Falletta is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has served by Presidential appointment as a Member of the National Council on the Arts. She has conducted over 1,600 orchestral works by more than 600 composers, including over 135 works by women composers and over 150 premieres. After earning her bachelor’s degree at Mannes, Falletta received master’s and doctoral degrees from The Juilliard School.  

Violinist SIMONE PORTER has been recognized as an emerging artist of impassioned energy, interpretive integrity, and vibrant communication. She has debuted with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Seattle and Pittsburgh Symphonies and with many renowned conductors. In March 2015, Simone was named a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant. Recent recital highlights include a tour in Spain with pianist Pallavi Mahidhara and debuts at Celebrity Series in Boston and NY92, both of which featured the newly commissioned piece by composer Reena Esmail.

Raised in Seattle, Washington, Simone studied with Margaret Pressley as a recipient of the Dorothy Richard Starling Scholarship and was admitted into the studio of the renowned pedagogue Robert Lipsett, with whom she studied at the Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles. Summer studies have included many years at the Aspen Music Festival, Indiana University's Summer String Academy and the Schlern International Music Festival in Italy. 

About MATTEO LANE: WE GOTTA CATCH UP!:

MATTEO LANE is a multifaceted talent known for his unique blend of standup comedy, musical prowess and artistic versatility. Hailing from Chicago, Lane’s comedic journey has taken him from New York City comedy clubs to sold-out performances across the globe, including Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center. His most recent standup special “Matteo Lane: The Al Dente Special” debuted on Hulu in May 2025.

Previously named as one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” and described by Advocate as “bold and unflinchingly genuine,” Lane tackles a wide range of topics from his experiences as a gay man to hilarious insights into everyday life. His special “Hair Plugs & Heartache” and the fan favorite “The Advice Special,” have all garnered millions of views. On screen, his credits include the Amazon Original film, “Upgraded,” the Netflix series “Survival of the Thickest” opposite Michelle Buteau, the feature film “Molli & Max in the Future,” which premiered at SXSW and Netflix’s all-queer stand-up special “Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution.” Fluent in five languages and with a singing range of six octaves, Matteo has lived in Italy as an oil painter and classically trained opera singer before starting his comedy career.
 
About A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL:

Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chartbusting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans" and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway and head out on the road across America.  

“Some of my most thrilling nights have been while I was on tour, bringing my music to audiences across the world,” said Neil Diamond. “Having A BEAUTIFUL NOISE go on tour is an honor and I can’t wait for audiences across North America to experience this show. I hope they enjoy it as much as I have.”  

Nick Fradiani plays ‘Neil Diamond – Then’ in the national tour directly from playing the role on Broadway since October 2023. He won the title of “American Idol” in 2015 and has since released his debut album Hurricane in 2016, featuring the hit single “Beautiful Life.” Past My Past, Fradiani’s second solo album, was released in 2022. Joining Fradiani are Robert Westenberg (Neil Diamond – Now), Hannah Jewel Kohn (Marcia Murphey), Lisa Reneé Pitts (Doctor), Michael Accardo (Bert Berns/ Kieve Diamond), Gene Weygandt (Fred Weintraub/ Tommy O'Rourke), Heidi Kettenring (Ellie Greenwich/ Rose Diamond) and Tiffany Tatreau (Jaye Posner). 

Rounding out the company as “The Noise” are Tom Bottelsen, Joe Caskey, Cooper Clack, Denver Dizon (Swing), Deirdre Dunkin, Rene Mirai Guyon (Swing), Ginger Hurley, Jer (Swing), Spencer Donavan Jones, Zoë Maloney (Swing), Ellen McGihon, Thabitha Moruthane, Sami Murphy (Swing), Ramsey Pack, Jeilani Rhone-Collins, Alec Michael Ryan (Swing), Nik Vlachos (Swing) and J’Kobe Wallace.
   
Producer Ken Davenport said, “Neil is one of the best live entertainers the world has ever seen. In his fifty-year career, he’s performed for millions of fans around the globe. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to honor his legacy than having A BEAUTIFUL NOISE touring North America, visiting the same cities where he gave so many people so much joy. Now, after a successful Broadway run, good times never seemed so good as A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, is in West Palm Beach making its premiere at the Kravis Center in April, 2026.” 

A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL is directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), choreographed by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and written by four-time Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Two Popes). 
  
The design team for A BEAUTIFUL NOISE features Tony Award winner David Rockwell (Scenic Design), Tony Award nominee Emilio Sosa (Costume Design), four-time Tony Award winner Kevin Adams (Lighting Design), Tony Award winner Jessica Paz (Sound Design), and Luc Verschueren (Hair and Wig Design). The production has Music Supervision and Arrangements by Sonny Paladino, Incidental Music and Dance Music Arrangements by Brian Usifer, Vocal Design by AnnMarie Milazzo, and Orchestrations by Bob Gaudio, Sonny Paladino, and Brian Usifer. The team also includes Jamie Harrison (Illusion Design), Kathy Fabian (Production Properties Supervisor), Jim Carnahan, CSA and Jason Thinger, CSA (Casting), Madeline McCluskey of Gentry & Associates (General Management) and Hector Guivas of NETworks Presentations (Production Management).
