Over the course of the last two years, the company of A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical has raised $750,000 for the Parkinson's Foundation in honor of Neil Diamond and the one million people in the United States living with the disease. Producer Adam Riemer presented the check to Parkinson's Foundation President and CEO John L. Lehr on the Broadhurst Theatre stage April 18.
“We are so grateful to A Beautiful Noise for once again championing not only the legacy of Neil Diamond, but that of all of those living with Parkinson’s disease across the country,” said Lehr in a statement. “It is incredibly generous that such a successful Broadway show continue to share the spotlight with our Foundation and raise awareness for the 90,000 people diagnosed with PD each year.”
Fans of the show will have a chance to be part of contributions to the Foundation as fundraising continues. For every ticket purchased using the code "PARKFOUND," $199 will be donated directly to the Parkinson’s Foundation in honor of Parkinson’s Awareness Month, now through April 30, 2024.
