“Fantastic music and a really well-crafted story” – Tripadvisor traveler 

Besides notable accolades, the musical also pulled in fantastic reviews from the most respected theater critics. Variety lauded the musical for not playing by all the rules of jukebox theater, “It unfolds first as a hit parade within a dramatic retelling of Diamond’s 1960s beginnings in Act 1, followed by a second act 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 writer continued, “Ultimately, A Beautiful Noise is victorious.”

Over at New York Theater, the article wrote praises for the exquisite costumes and riveting music. “What follows is one blasting and blinding rock number after another, with Neil in a series of Elvis-like jumpsuits – one black, one white, one red – all covered in sequins.” The writer went on to add, “I’ll admit that after the show ended, I could not keep one of the melodies out of my head.”
