The Production

Many long-time lovers of Neil Diamond still remember when his 1976 album, A Beautiful Noise, was first released. Those same fans will never forget experiencing the musical of the same name it came to Houston. The exciting performance entranced audiences from the very beginning with a engaging story and catchy songs. 

Afterward, the production took on Broadway, running from late 2022 into early 2024 at the Broadhurst Theatre. Famed actors like Will Swenson (who played the young Neil Diamond), Mark Jacoby (present-day Diamond), and Linda Powell (The Doctor) all delivered fantastic performances after the Boston production. 

The show quickly spread its reach. With a fresh new cast, including the American Idol winner, Nick Fradiani, (playing Neil Diamond). 

The Story

The production follows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, starting in the present day with Westenberg sitting in a therapist’s office. As Diamond, he talks about how he can no longer perform like he used to while the doctor helps him navigate the trials brought by this reality throughout A Beautiful Noise. 

The story goes all the way back to Diamond's youth, examining his introduction to music and all memorable moments since then, including his rise to stardom and battle with depression. But, what die-hard fans anticipate most is reliving Diamond’s catalog of hits in the Neil Diamond Musical.
