Such an iconic artist, Neil Diamond is a sound that is only his. Bringing back Neil Diamond to those who do not know of his amazing singing and songwriting talents, is truly a blessing. Today’s youth only get to hear this kind of music royalty through their parents. Many parents expose their kids to artists that are no longer creating. Having this wonderful musical – THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL– A BEAUTIFUL NOISE – is really a great honor to Neil Diamond fans and to the man himself. Nick Fradiani who on his own is an amazing singer, but he really captures the essence of Neil Diamonds voice and dynamic on-stage persona. Truly one of the best shows I have seen in a long time! The first thing I did when I left the show was play Neil Diamonds greatest hits on my phone on YouTube!
About the Show:
A BEAUTIFUL NOISE, stars “American Idol” winner Nick Fradiani in the title role Hollywood Pantages Theatre ∙ July 8 – July 27, 2025 – 3 weeks only. “Close your eyes and you’d swear that Diamond himself is on stage performing his string of hits.” Forbes “It sends you home hungry to hear the albums again and there is no higher tribute.” The Hollywood Reporter “Fradiani’s portrayal of the young Neil Diamond is Tony–worthy. He effortlessly captures the icon’s heart and angst; he is simply fantastic.”
Broadway World Wednesday, June 17, 2025 – Producers Ken Davenport, Bob Gaudio and NETworks Presentations with Broadway in Hollywood are thrilled to announce that A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, will make its Los Angeles premiere at the Pantages Hollywood Theatre. Nick Fradiani won the title of “American Idol” in 2015 and has since released his debut album “Hurricane” in 2016, featuring the hit single “Beautiful Life.” “Past My Past,” his second solo album, was released in 2022. He made his national tour debut in A Bronx Tale and his Broadway debut in A BEAUTIFUL NOISE, taking over the role of ‘Neil Diamond – Then’ in October 2023. The official announcement of Fradiani taking A BEAUTIFUL NOISE on the road in the title role was officially made by Ryan Seacrest on the season finale of “American Idol” on ABC TV in May 2024 after Fradiani took the stage for the first time since winning the title. He has since gone on to play the role across the country to rave reviews, breaking box office records and leading the show to recoupment in an unprecedentedly short amount of time.
Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chartbusting, 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.
“Some of my most thrilling nights have been while I was on tour, bringing my music to audiences across the world,” said Neil Diamond. “Having A BEAUTIFUL NOISE go on tour is an honor and I can’t wait for audiences across North America to experience this show. I hope they enjoy it as much as I have.”
“The Biographical Drama Is A Heartwarming Celebration Of Mr. Diamond’s Uplifting Music And Inspirational Life.” -The Washington Times.
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.
Producer Ken Davenport said, “Neil is one of the best live entertainers the world has ever seen. In his fifty-year career, he’s performed for millions of fans around the globe. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to honor his legacy than having A BEAUTIFUL NOISE touring North America, visiting the same cities where he gave so many people so much joy. Now, after a successful Broadway run, good times never seemed so good as A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, is at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre.
Producer Bob Gaudio said, “When Neil and I first started talking about making a musical using his music, I knew how daunting that would be. With Jersey Boys, I learned how vital it is to have a first-rate creative team making sure everything weaves together. We have that on A BEAUTIFUL NOISE—an incisive book that tells Neil’s story honestly, fantastic choreography, one of the best directors on Broadway guiding the entire production, and of course, Neil’s iconic songs.”
