Diamonds

In one sentence: a feel good Morning Melodies style show that shares the stories and songs of Marilyn Monroe.

How did it come about?

Diamonds was the Morning Melodies style version of Nude. It was much shorter, it had fewer stories and was mostly focused on the songs of Marilyn Monroe. It also did not have the transformation aspect - the actor performed as if Marilyn from the beginning. This was the first time we had toured to different venues and an incredible introduction to the world of regional and metropolitan touring. The audience responses were so positive as people were able to rekindle their love for such an adored figure.
