The story of the legendary Neil Diamond comes to life on stage in an uplifting new musical featuring all his hit songs, including “Sweet Caroline,” “America,” and “Cracklin’ Rosie.” From those exhilarating early days in New York to the sold-out spectacles that defined his career, A Beautiful Noise explores the life of a rock icon through the music that made him “a national treasure” (Los Angeles Times).
Directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), choreographed by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and written by four-time Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Two Popes), A Beautiful Noise is a thrilling look at an artist’s search for himself and a celebration of the enduring power of his music.
The fan in me didn’t mind all that and appreciated the chance to hear a deep and varied songbook performed with skill, energy and new orchestrations. And the people who see the show at Belk Theatre this week in its Broadway Lights incarnation will undoubtedly be fans.
To say I was blown away is an understatement. I had been to this venue previously for concerts, most recently, Alice Cooper, but it was my first time seeing a musical there and I will most definitely be back. For fans of Neil Diamond, or even for those who casually enjoy his music, this is a show to get a ticket for as soon as possible.
