Jay Z continues to stay busy. Fresh off his Songwriters Hall Of Fame honor, Jay Z celebrates another achievement, becoming one of the producers for the film adaptation of In the Heights. In the Heights was Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first musical before he became a household name for Hamilton. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2008 and won four […]

“Hamilton” is a musical that has changed the way people view theater. Show tunes don’t always have to be corny and classical. Lin-Manuel Miranda has re-invented stage plays as we know them. “Hamilton” merges American History with Hip-Hop music and it just so happens to mesh beautifully.

  What’s Up! It’s Amir Diamond and it’s no secret that Theatre is my first love. I’ve been doing plays since the age of 5. I’ve performed in over 30 productions (including stage, film and radio/tv commercials). For 2015, I thought it’d be cool to highlight and share some of my favorite Broadway shows throughout […]
