Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond, “A Beautiful Noise” is the story of how a kid from Brooklyn became an American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalog of classics like “America,” “Forever in Blue Jeans” and “Sweet Caroline,” inductions into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world, Diamond’s story was made for Broadway and a tour across America.
“Some of my most thrilling nights have been while I was on tour, bringing my music to audiences across the world,” Diamond said. “Having ‘A Beautiful Noise’ go on tour is an honor and I can’t wait for audiences across North America to experience this show. I hope they enjoy it as much as I have.”
Like “Jersey Boys” and “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” before it, “A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical” is an inspiring, energy-filled musical memoir that tells the story of how one of America’s most successful hitmakers became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.
Producer Ken Davenport said, “Neil is one of the best live entertainers the world has ever seen. In his fifty-year career, he’s performed for millions of fans around the globe. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to honor his legacy than having ‘A Beautiful Noise’ touring North America, visiting the same cities where he gave so many people so much joy. Now, after a successful Broadway run, good times never seemed so good as ‘A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical’ is in the Lowcountry making its premiere at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center in December 2026.”
Producer Bob Gaudio said, “When Neil and I first started talking about making a musical using his music, I knew how daunting that would be. With ‘Jersey Boys,’ I learned how vital it is to have a first-rate creative team making sure everything weaves together. We have that on ‘A Beautiful Noise’ — an incisive book that tells Neil’s story honestly, fantastic choreography, one of the best directors on Broadway guiding the entire production, and of course, Neil’s iconic songs."
“A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical” is directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (“Spring Awakening,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”), choreographed by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (“Once,” “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”) and written by four-time Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten (“Bohemian Rhapsody,” “The Two Popes”).
