A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical at Broadhurst Theatre

A Beautiful Noise will be taking the stage live this time at the Broadhurst Theatre on Thursday 21st December 2023! The life and work of Neil Diamond are the subject of a brand-new Broadway musical. His greatest hits, including "Cracklin' Rosie," are all presented in the production, which will be performed by an outstanding cast under the direction of Tony nominee Will Swenson.

Overall, the show is an inspiring, exciting and electrifying musical memoir that tells the inspiring true tale of how America's greatest hitmaker became a legend. It is uniquely set to the songs that shaped Diamond’s career, much like The Carole King Musical before it.

The story follows an anxious Jewish artist from Flatbush, whose family name is actually Diamond. As he grows up, he finds his feet as a performer at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village, continuing to sign a record deal that comes back to haunt him, and as years go on, he comes away from one marriage and another. "Amid all that, Diamond evolves into a globe-trotting, sequin-wearing, arena-playing star,” The Guardian shares.

According to prior reports, singer-songwriter Neil Diamond-Then will be played by Will Swenson, who most recently played in the Off-Broadway revival of Assassins. Neil Diamond-Now will be played by Tony contender Mark Jacoby, Robyn Hurder as Marcia, while Linda Powell is cast as the Doctor.

The creative team comprises Acclaimed director esteemed director Michael Mayer, renowned Anthony McCarten, and Olivier Award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett. The musical will have scenic design by Tony winner David Rockwell, lighting design by four-time Tony winner Kevin Adams, costume design by renowned costume designer Emilio Sosa, and sound design by Tony Award winner Jessica Paz.

Essentially, Variety writes the show does not actually play by all the rules of jukebox theater. "It is initially a hit parade within a dramatic showcase of Diamond’s 1960s beginnings in the first act, which is subtly followed by a second act that is set of sequined, post-1960s concerts spliced with portraits of a broken marriage and lonely childhood, and then a denouement of hardcore emotional resolve,” the review continues.
