The Broadway show, written by the lauded playwright Anthony McCarten, was produced by Robert Gaudio and the two-time Tony Award-winner Ken Davenport. With help from more than 6 decades of Diamond’s music, the team created a “musical collage” with showtunes that take on "lives of their own”, as McCarten stated in an interview with The Boston Globe for the Neil Diamond Musical. 

This magnificent 2h 15m adventure comprises two acts, the first ending with the beloved number Sweet Caroline, followed by a 15-minute intermission. Use this time to grab food and drink, rejoin the show for one more hour of outstanding acting and storytelling.

The Production

Many lifelong lovers of Neil Diamond still remember when his 1976 album, A Beautiful Noise, first dropped. They will never forget experiencing the musical of the same name it came to Columbus. The jukebox musical delighted audiences from the opening act with a full mesmerizing Broadway show 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 from the Boston production. 

The show swiftly took to the road. Now, new faces make up the traveling cast, including the American Idol winner, Nick Fradiani, (playing Neil Diamond). 

The Story

The story 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, as the therapist helps him cope with that realization throughout A Beautiful Noise. 

The production goes back to Diamond's childhood days, examining his introduction to music and all memorable moments since then, including his journey to stardom and fight with depression. But, what long-time Diamond lovers anticipate most is reliving Diamond’s catalog of songs in the Neil Diamond Musical.

Awards & Reviews

While the Broadway show was nominated for Outstanding Production of a Musical and Outstanding New Broadway Musical, the actors took home the gold. Hoggett, Hurder, and LeProtto won Outstanding Ensemble in a Broadway Show by Chita Rivera Awards for choreography and dance. Other award nominations include the Drama Desk Award and Drama League Awards.

The Neil Diamond Musical is captivating audiences with its fantastic story across the country. So, experience the first-ever Broadway show rendition of a singing icon’s inspiring life story and this Grammy Lifetime Achievement winner’s tale.
