“Beautiful Noise”, a tribute to the
music of Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow.
The show is a mix of live band gig and classy review bar and pays
tribute to two of America’s finest singing and song writing talents. The artists don’t attempt to emulate Diamond
or Manilow, although the show is a “Beautiful Noise” - at times nostalgic,
vibrant and even with its poignant moments - with Darren paying tribute to his
best friend, Vanessa, who is performing in her last show in South Africa before
she returns to the UK.
With Wallace Nock as the lead
vocalist -performing most of the Neil Diamond numbers, Darren King presenting
several Manilow numbers, both solo and sharing the stage with Vanessa Skaer,
ably backed on piano and harmony by Rodney Chapman - the show is a walk down memory lane for any
fan of these two well known and popular artists. The biggest challenge musical directors
Wallace Nock and Rodney Chapman had was deciding what to leave out. Said Nock “The list was so long - we ended up
having to be quite ruthless, otherwise the show would go on all night.” The result is the best of both artists and a
show comprising some of Manilow and Diamond’s most loved music - including all
time favourites “Sweet Caroline”, “You don’t Bring me Flowers”, Copacobana”,
“Cracklin’ Rosie”, “Could it be Magic” and many more.
Nock and Chapman provide the musical
backing to great effect on piano, keyboard, guitar and sax, together with some
backing tracks and slick dance routines by King and Skaer (the last time this
couple will probably dance together for some time), “Beautiful Noise” is a
stylish and entertaining nostalgic trip down memory lane for anyone who has
ever enjoyed the “Beautiful Noise” produced by Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond.
