She is all that mixed up and baked in a beeeeeautiful pie. She is gone, but she used to be miiiiiiiiiiine. Ugh! This song gets me everytime. I never gave it the time of day because I always assumed it was girly, but the message resonates with both men and women. We are all imperfect […]
I thought I’d never be able to find a video of Jordin Sparks singing “She Used To Be Mine” from Broadway’s Waitress. Today, my dream came true. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. It’s a story about self-reflection and recognizing one’s flaws. Sara Bareilles did her thang when she wrote this […]
If I was making the money I wanted to be making, I’d be in New York right now watching Jordin Sparks take the stage as Jenna in Broadway’s “Waitress.” For the longest, I didn’t give this musical a chance. I judged a book by it’s cover. I thought that it was only for girls. SMH […]
To know me is to know that I loooooove theater. Hamilton is one of my favorite musicals of all time. Renée Elise Goldsberry is in town performing with the Houston Symphony all weekend long. I think this is going to be a really good show. It sounds like the perfect date night. Too bad I’m […]
Nobody can top Jessie Mueller’s rendition of “She Used to Be Mine.” Alison Luff’s cover wasn’t too shabby though. I can rock with it. This is one of the most emotional songs from Broadway’s “Waitress.” Check it out: Follow @AmirDiamond & @RadioNowHouston on Instagram
It’s not often that a new musical lands 12 Tony Award Nominations. What’s even doper, is the fact that this musical is lead by five African-American men. This is a big deal to me, because growing up… my dream was to be an actor, but never saw too many people on the stage that looked […]
I am a huge fan of theater! It’s actually my first love. I just wrapped a show last month called For Colored Boyz and have been in over 30 plays. I’ll be home Saturday night by 6pm so I can catch ABC 13’s “Bright Lights on Broadway” special. It airs at 6:30pm and will highlight […]
Ironically, Brennin Hunt was my favorite performer on last Sundays “Rent: Live on FOX.” His voice is everything. It’s apparent that he put all of his might into his performance, because he ended up breaking his foot. I was curious as to which scene it happened on. Check out the video below to get all […]
RENT is def in my top 10 favorite musicals. I kinda forced myself to like it. I fell asleep the first five times I watched the movie version. Lol Yes… I was THAT guy. But listen…it’s better late than never, right? The point is…I see how dope this show is NOW. Check out some of […]
It’s a BIG weekend for me and my friends. We LOVE musical theater; especially RENT. It’s going to be dope to see stars like Tinashe, Mario & Vanessa Hudgens transform into some of the most beloved characters from Broadway. “Seasons of Love” NEVER gets old. Check out their unplugged rendition of it here: Follow @AmirDiamond […]
Brittney Johnson made history over the weekend! She became the first woman of color to play Glinda in Broadway’s “Wicked.” The hit show has been running for 15 years, so this was a very monumental moment. It’s admirable to see how the theater world is making an effort to represent people of various ethnic backgrounds. […]
It took me a while to discover this song, since “Hamilton” is so damn long. Lol I could never make it past act one. Once I did…I came across “Burn” and it touched every part of my soul. This song is DEEP! Check out Andra Day’s music video for it below. Follow @AmirDiamond & @RadioNowHouston […]
