Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy's Chicken Shack in Harlem

10/17/2025 7:30 pm

Written by Jonathan Norton
Directed by Dexter J. Singleton
WORLD PREMIERE | Developed at the 2024 Arkansas New Play Festival

Two young Harlemites – Little and Foxy – form an unlikely friendship over leftover fried chicken and dirty dishwater. Then a long hot summer of heartbreak, betrayal, and racial uprising moves them farther from each other—but much closer to the history-making American icons they are destined to become. This electrifying world premiere blends sharp humor with raw humanity, revealing the laughter, struggle, and brotherhood that shaped two legends. Commissioned by TheatreSquared.

A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical

10/17/2025 8:00 pm

Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Noise is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, 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, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway and head out on the road across the U.S.

Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.

Presented in association with and endorsed by Neil Diamond.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.
