This magical two-hour-and-15-minute adventure comprises two acts, the first ending with the timeless classic Sweet Caroline, followed by a 15-minute intermission. Use this time to grab food and drink, rejoin the show for another hour of beautiful songs and engaging performances.

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 LIVE as it came to Salt Lake City. The exciting performance delighted audiences from the opening act with a full mesmerizing Broadway show and memorable songs. 

The musical soon ended up on NYC 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) reprised their roles from the Boston production. 

The show quickly took to the road. With a fresh new cast, including the American Idol winner, Nick Fradiani, (playing Neil Diamond). 

The Story

The story follows the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Famer, starting in the present day with Westenberg sitting in a therapist’s office. As Diamond, he explains 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 the good and bad times since then, including his journey to stardom and battle with depression. But, what long-time Diamond lovers anticipate most is re-experiencing Diamond’s catalog of hits in the Neil Diamond Musical.
