Review: A BEAUTIFUL NOISE at Hershey Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - Jul 1, 2026
Based on the life and times of singer-songwriter, Neil Diamond, A Beautiful Noise is a good bit more than the typical jukebox musical. The framing device of the story is that current day Neil Diamond, played expertly by Robert Westenberg, is reluctantly visiting a therapist (Lisa Renee Pitts) to work through some issues. Westenberg’s Diamond is gruff, surly and weary. He seems miles away from the smiling, glittery star of yesteryear.

The story has an arc that is different than the traditional feel-book jukebox musical. It takes the audience to a totally unexpected place. The story is as much inspired by the lyrics that were written as they are by what is implied.

We had the chance to catch up with a legend of the stage, Robert Westenberg, who plays Neil Diamond (Now), in A BEAUTIFUL NOISE. Having been on the stage since 1975 in various roles, Westenberg has much wisdom to impart. Having played this role in over 570 shows to date in this role, Westenberg is positively gleeful to continue his journey with this show. He is enthusiastic when he speaks to the audience’s reaction and the glory that comes from being in this role!

Review: A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - Jan 29, 2026
Titled after Neil Diamond’s 1976 album of the same name, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL aims for something more intimate and riskier than the average jukebox musical. Rather than simply charting a performer’s rise to fame, it presents a man in conversation with his past where he’s both haunted and sustained by the songs he wrote to survive it. The structure is unorthodox and quietly daring.
