Responsiveness. Precision. Intuitive grace. A superior musical instrument can be recognized by the degree to which it allows the player to express vision without interference — with nothing coming between the fingers on the keyboard and the music in the air.

Such is the experience of playing a Boston. Designed by Steinway & Sons, employing the unique patents and expertise that have made the name Steinway synonymous with excellence, the Boston line of grand and upright pianos represents a singular achievement in instrument building: a superior playing experience at a price level never before thought possible.

A Beautiful Noise, the Humanity of a Superstar

T

he music of Neil Diamond has cemented its place as an icon of popular culture. At sporting events, weddings, and parties around the world, when a crowd of people hears the familiar, “Hands touchin’ hands, reachin’ out, touching me, touchin’ you,’’ excitement builds until it’s irresistible — “Sweet Caroline,” is followed by a spirited “Bum, bum, bum!” from the crowd. In a moment like this, it’s hard not to believe in the magic of music and its ability to lift the spirits of entire communities.

In a moment like this, being human feels, “So good, so good, so good.”

With a catalog of music so popular, earning him an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award, Kennedy Center Honors, and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, it seems as though everyone has heard a Neil Diamond song, whether they realize he’s the artist or not. After such an expansive career, it’s no surprise that Neil’s story has made its way to the Broadway stage, where

14

INTERMISSION JANUARY 2026

the lives of the biggest stars are turned into musical memoirs.

This energy-filled production is more than just your typical “jukebox musical.” Ken Davenport, the Tony Award-winning producer behind A Beautiful Noise, said in an interview with Broadway Direct, “We always knew the music would get people excited and would draw people in.

Neil’s music has a lasting appeal.

But, what’s exciting to us is how much the story has gotten to people.”

The audience is not only wowed by a larger-than-life Neil Diamond concert experience, and taken on a trip down memory lane with nostalgic music, costumes, and sets, they are pleasantly surprised by the profound nature of the show. Michael Mayer, the director of the Broadway production, said in an interview with Eye For Film, “I think people don’t expect that it will be as moving as it is.”

Oscar nominee Anthony McCarten, who is known for writing biographical films (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Theory of Everything,

I Wanna Dance With Somebody), was chosen to write the script. Though this was his first time writing for the stage, his connection to Neil made him the perfect fit. “My mother, my whole childhood, had two pictures on the mantelpiece: one was of the Pope and one was of Neil Diamond,” said McCarten in an interview with Broadway.com.

The musical, which takes place after his retirement from touring due to a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, is framed around conversations with his therapist. As Neil looks back on pivotal moments throughout his life, the audience travels through the decades as they witness Neil’s humble beginning playing gigs in New York City, to his rise to superstardom

and status as a world-renowned songwriter. Upon reflecting on his extraordinary career, Neil is faced with the poignant question: as his health deteriorates, can he find meaning and contentment in his life without performing?

In an episode of Sunday Morning on CBS, Neil himself explained that he wanted his truth to be represented in the show, in good times and in bad. “I didn’t necessarily love it, warts and all, but I wanted it.

This is how I wanted my story to be told,” he said, after watching flashbacks of his life retold onstage, for thousands of eyes to witness.

Bob Gaudio (whose career with the Four Seasons was turned into the Broadway hit Jersey Boys) is also a producer on A Beautiful Noise. “How

come we can get a show and [Neil] hasn’t yet?” joked Gaudio about the creation of the Neil Diamond musical. “He was very happy about getting that going and he was a big part of it. It’s about his story. It’s a powerful show, and I’m proud of it.”

A Beautiful Noise not only celebrates the prodigious career of a musical icon, but also reaffirms the timeless bond between artist and audience.

In the melodies of Neil Diamond, we find not only a soundtrack to our lives, but also a beautiful reminder of community. With smiles on their faces (and tears in their eyes!), the audience just can’t help but sing along. Just as Sweet Caroline has a special, universal way of bringing people together, this musical retelling of Neil’s story resonates deeply with audiences, bringing fans, old and new, an understanding of the man behind the music.

Tracing Love, Loss and Legacy: Georgia Hunter

W

hen author Georgia Hunter takes the stage through Tulsa Town Hall on February 6, audiences won’t hear just a lecture, they’ll step into a deeply personal journey that began with a high school assignment, spanned nine years of research across multiple continents, and ultimately blossomed into a bestselling novel and an acclaimed television series.

Hunter, author of We Were the Lucky Ones and co-executive producer of the limited series made by Hulu, did not grow up knowing she was the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor. In fact, she learned the truth almost accidentally. At 15, a teacher assigned an “I-Search” project: interview a relative to better understand your roots.

Though her grandfather Eddie had recently passed, his memory was still fresh, so she sat down with her grandmother. What she might have expected to be family anecdotes or genealogy trivia was anything but. Instead, she discovered an extraordinary history hidden in plain sight.

Her grandfather, whom readers meet as Addy in chapter one of the novel, had been born in Radom, Poland, the only one of five siblings

20 INTERMISSION JANUARY 2026

living abroad when World War II began. But Hunter had seen her grandfather as an American. He built looms, sculpted portraits of his children, and spoke without an accent. He’d changed his name and embraced America with open pride.

Nothing in his charming, forwardthinking demeanor hinted at what he and his family had endured.

A few years after her assignment and discovery of her family’s history, fate delivered her the next clue. At a family reunion, family from around the globe gathered — France, Israel, Colombia, Brazil, California — sharing stories not often spoken about. Hunter, then in her early twenties, wandered outside one evening to find them seated around a table. What she heard changed her life.

A baby born in Siberia. A mother and daughter escaping a ghetto.

Forged IDs. Families splintered, rebuilt, scattered, reunited. “How have I never heard these stories,” she wondered. Her grandmother’s soft Southern voice chimed in, “Someone ought to write these down.”

Hunter did not yet know that someone would be her. But what she had discovered pulled at her: “It wasn’t anger I felt, just

awe and curiosity. I suddenly realized there was this world in my past I didn’t know existed.”

From Family Secrets to Global Story In 2008, she committed fully to the project without knowing what it would ultimately become. “I didn’t know if it was going to be a blog, a self-published book or something else entirely,” she says. “I just knew I had to follow the trail.”

That trail took her from Paris to Tel Aviv to South America. It led her to interview every surviving cousin, along with historians, acquaintances and people who had brushed up against her family’s story in the smallest but most meaningful ways. She even located her grandfather’s former fiancée, who shared treasured documents from their brief engagement.

Nine years later, We Were the Lucky Ones was published to wide acclaim. Readers were struck by the rare combination of heartbreak and hope, humor and humanity.

The story felt both intimate and

sweeping, anchored by the family’s love for one another, a love that persisted through displacement, fear and profound loss.

Bringing the Story to the Screen When Hollywood came calling, Hunter approached the idea cautiously. “It’s such a personal story,” she says. “I was terrified it would land in the wrong hands.”

But then her longtime family friend, director Thomas Kail, of Hamilton and Disney’s upcoming live-action Moana, called. He wanted to adapt the book with Hunter. The partnership was an immediate yes.

Kail’s pitch was simple and brilliant: This is a story about a family who wants nothing more than to gather around the dinner table together again.

That human core guided the entire production. Viewers will notice the recurring motif of the table: Passover in Poland, a cramped corner in the ghetto, a makeshift table in Siberia, a INTERMISSION JANUARY 2026

21

hopeful one in Brazil. Wherever the family scattered, the longing remained the same: reunion.

Fur Hunter, participating in the series was like reliving her research all over again but this time watching it take physical, cinematic form.

She joined the writers’ room for five months, collaborated daily with the creative team and witnessed the crafting of costumes and sets built with meticulous historical accuracy. “It was surreal,” she says. “Emotional, overwhelming and deeply meaningful.”

What Audiences Can Expect in Tulsa When Hunter comes to speak on the Chapman stage, attendees will see more than a behind-the-scenes peek.

Her talk weaves together the layers of her journey, from granddaughter, to researcher, to novelist, to producer.

She brings photos from her childhood, from the family reunion 22 INTERMISSION JANUARY 2026

that sparked everything, and from her earliest research trips. She also shares images from the making of the series: set construction, prop details, and the collaborative world inside the writers’ room.

Her presentation is less a retelling of the book and more a walk through the process of discovering, shaping and honoring a family history nearly lost to time. “It’s about peeling back the layers,” she explains. “The inspiration, the detective work, the emotional weight, the creative challenges.”

Join us for her incredible talk on February 6! And if you want to see her story in rich, historical detail, you can watch We Were the Lucky Ones on Hulu or Disney+. You can also dive deeper into her work and research through the blog on her website: https://georgiahunterauthor.com/.

The Next Narrative Monologue Competition Nicholas Lannon Cains is one of the incredible teaching artists leading the Tulsa Performing Arts Center’s Regional Next Narrative Monologue Competition, bringing a lifelong passion for empowering young performers to the program.

A graduate of Southern Methodist University with a BFA in theatre, Nick has been seen on Tulsa stages in productions like Waitress, The Trail to Oregon, Little Shop of Horrors and more. His journey as a national finalist in the YoungArts Theatre competition sparked his belief in the transformative power of the arts, an experience that now fuels his commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation of storytellers.

Tell us a bit about what NNMC is and what it accomplishes.

The Next Narrative Monologue Competition (NNMC) is a national program that gives high school students the chance to perform original monologues written by today’s top Black playwrights. NNMC is all about lifting up Black voices in theatre, building your acting skills, and encouraging you to explore powerful topics — like identity, justice, and culture — through your own unique voice. It’s your chance to be heard, be bold, and be part of something big.

What are the main goals and priorities for this year’s regional competition?

In our second year, the main goal is to give as many students as possible across our state the opportunity to participate!

We had a great group of students last year who came together in a series of workshops to build community, sharpen their theatrical skills, and encourage each other to shine onstage.

All aspects of this program are free for students, so we’ve created additional workshops this year to give the kids even more chances to collaborate.

24 INTERMISSION JANUARY 2026

What makes the Next Narrative Monologue Competition meaningful or exciting for young performers in our region?

I’ve heard from so many of our past participants that this experience was different from other competitions, mostly because it never felt like a “competition” in the traditional sense.

Students are able to choose a monologue that truly speaks to them — a piece written by a top BIPOC playwright specifically for students their age.

Our students in Oklahoma have the opportunity to grapple with these pieces with feedback from our teaching artists, building script analysis and monologue performance skills all at once. Plus, our young performers get to compete for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City to perform with students from all over the nation!

Can you share a story about a past participant whose experience really captures the spirit of the program?

It’s hard to pick just one, but I have to highlight the experience of Chiedza Mahuni, a high school senior from Union High School who competed in Spring

2025. Chiedza won second place at the National Competition in New York! She chose a monologue about a Black mother struggling with complicated feelings for her son. Chiedza tapped into the character’s emotions, finding a thread that rang true to her own experiences that she could truly embody. That trip was also the first time Chiedza traveled out of Oklahoma all the way to New York City, building up life experiences that go far beyond a competition. Chiedza really captures the spirit of NNMC: the courage to embody a character she saw a kinship with, a coachable attitude, and the professionalism she exuded throughout the regional and national competitions.

What do students gain — artistically, personally, or academically — by taking part in NNMC? Artistically, students gain practical skills throughout the Regional Next Narrative Monologue Competition with workshops centered on text analysis, audition preparation, and bringing their authentic voices to the stage. Personally, all students have the opportunity to be coached — both as a team and one to one — and perform on the TPAC Williams Theatre stage in their own moment. Academically, all exercises and workshops they engage in align with the National Core Theatre Standards of Creating, Performing, Responding, and Connecting.

How does the regional program create a supportive and inspiring environment for young artists to grow?

We intentionally create a collaborative environment by inviting students of any experience level to participate and offering the same amount of support to everyone. We emphasize that even though there is a competition at the end of the experience, the true goal is the process: building characters, learning from each other, discussing the themes of the pieces, and connecting with other performers across Oklahoma.

What excites you most about this year’s program, and what do you hope participants walk away with?

I’m thrilled that in our second year, we will have the opportunity to touch the artistry of even more students in the area with this unique and FREE opportunity. We know firsthand that there are so many talented high schoolers doing wonderful work across our state! We want them to bring their gifts into the room and show the world how special our group of students in Oklahoma truly is on a national stage.
