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 Hollywood Pantages Theatre for a limited three-week engagement, from July 8 to 27. This beautiful musical memoir takes fans on a journey through the story of the rock icon, Neil Diamond.
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 music and inspirational life,” said The Washington Times. “Close your eyes and you’d swear that Neil Diamond himself is on stage performing his string of hits,” – Forbes. “It also sends you home hungry to hear the albums again and there is no higher tribute,” said The Hollywood Reporter.
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 50-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 coming to Hollywood making its premiere at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre.”
The tour cast is currently led by American Idol winner Nick Fradiani (Neil Diamond – Then), Robert Westenberg (Neil Diamond – Now), Hannah Jewel Kohn (Marcia Murphey), Lisa Reneé Pitts (Doctor), Michael Accardo (Bert Berns/ Kieve Diamond), Tuck Milligan (Fred Weintraub/ Tommy O’Rourke), Kate A. Mulligan (Ellie Greenwich/ Rose Diamond) and Tiffany Tatreau (Jaye Posner).
