Tribute show in which Jesse Rivers plays Neil Diamond, with narration and video, covering six decades of Diamond hits.
Jesse Rivers brings Hello Again – The Neil Diamond Songbook to Victoria Hall on Saturday 17 April 2027. It's a tribute to six decades of Neil Diamond's work, with Rivers taking on the role of Diamond himself, backed by the Salvation Band and the Diaz Sisters. The show follows Diamond's story from his early songwriting days through to international stardom, and it's built around the songs that carry that timeline: 'Sweet Caroline', 'Cracklin' Rosie', 'Red, Red Wine', 'I'm a Believer', 'America' and 'Hello Again' are all in the set. The music is held together by narration, evocative imagery and video, so it's as much about the story as the songs.
This year the set also pulls in hits from Song Sung Blue, the movie starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. The show is regarded as the most successful independent production of its kind, and it runs for two hours and fifteen minutes.
