THE UNTOLD TRUE STORY OF A BROOKLYN KID WHO BECAME A CHART-BUSTING, SHOW-STOPPING, AWARD-WINNING AMERICAN ICON
Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans," and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award, and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway-and head out on the road across America.
Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.
What a wonderful show!!! The songs were great and Nick Fradiani sounded just like Neil Diamond. Interesting story that so many of his songs were written about what he was going through in his life. Many of the songs I grew up with and was so much fun singing along to "Sweet Caroline".
Overall experience was entertaining, but I didn't experience the ecstatic energy that I was hoping for. My balcony seat was way too far away from the stage to feel any real emotions in the actors.
It is a MUST see The music was incredible and the singers and dancers were great
I was a ticket holder for 5 years and seen a lot of musicals, but I can honestly say I loved this one the best of all. The actor that played Neil Diamond was fantastic and sounded just like him I can't imagine how many people they had to interview to find him. He sang so many popular songs that was recognized. All the other actors and singers was just as great.
From Nick Fradian’s first note, we were hooked!! He did an absolutely amazing job personifying Neil Diamond. He sounded, moved, played guitar and looked like Neil! The whole production was so well put together. We enjoyed every minute!!
The young Neil Diamond singing was phenomenal, like hearing the real thing. However, the counseling sessions with the old Neil was SO SLOW. The back and forth between the two ruined the flow of the whole show. Like being stopped at a traffic light every block, after gaining momentum.
I loved every minute of the show. Tried to absorb every minute. The sound was wonderful didn't know what to expect having not seen a show like this before. The theater is beautiful and workers were so kind and helpful. So glad you have elevators.
I was most pleased with the ticketing process, it was easy & efficient!
My 85 y.o husband and I made it through the SD Rock and Roll Marathon traffic for the 1 PM show via 94E (for future reference) although a bit stop and go with traffic and red lights. Well worth the drive. The show concept was well organized with story telling and Neil Diamond's songs blending in to match parts of his life story. The sold out crowd was very enthusiastic joining in clapping and singing along as signaled to do from the stage. The band of 6 were fantastic, sounding like a full orchestra. If I read the flyer inside the program correctly, the understudy for the main role of Mr. Diamond was performing that day. He was fantastic and a few minutes into the singing, he sounded like the real Mr. Diamond on his recordings and live shows. The 3 lead female characters were great too in their roles as wife #1 and #2 and the Psychiatrist. The dancers/backup singers did a fantastic job too. My husband came home and has since been listening to Mr. Diamond's songs online daily. I would recommend this show to any fan of Mr. Diamond and the younger generation would appreciate the performance too.
What a wonderful experience! A Beautiful Noise was the best show/concert of any kind I've ever been to. It had it all: incredible singing, dancing, lighting, and (surprisingly) emotional storytelling/drama. A huge thank you to all of the talented cast and crew...and for Neil himself for allowing his life to be so exposed for our benefit!
