With his first break into songwriting in the 1960s and his meteoric rise in the 1970s and plenty of crushing disappointments and heart-stopping triumphs along the way, Neil Diamond has maintained stardom for five straight decades. How did a poor Jewish kid from Brooklyn become one of the most universally adored showmen of all time? There’s only one way to tell it: a musical set to his era-defining smash hits that entranced the world.
A Beautiful Noise features a book by Anthony McCarten, direction by Michael Mayer, choreography by Steven Hoggett, scenic design by David Rockwell, costume design by Emilio Sosa, lighting design by Kevin Adams and sound design by Jessica Paz.
