Be part of the trendsetting musical commemoration dedicated to one of history's MOST SPECTACULAR rock and roll icons! This 2026, A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Musical will kick off a string of highly anticipated performances for its renewed nationwide tour, including a Thelma Gaylord PAT At Civic Center Music Hall appearance on Tuesday 3rd March 2026.
“So good… So good… So good, that I put Neil immediately in my Spotify rotation on the walk and train ride home.”
The Neil Diamond Musical is headed by esteemed theater director Michael Mayer and features a universally regarded book by multi-awarded filmmaker Anthony McCarten.
Through dazzling song and dance segments, this upcoming musical depicts the never-before-shared stories of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Neil Diamond.
The singer himself intimately collaborated with the production to retain its authenticity, adamantly advocating mental health awareness through Neil’s therapy sessions-framed narrative. Avid theater-goers are also in for a riveting treat as the event offers a selection of his most influential hits, such as “I'm a Believer,” “Holly Holy,” and “Love on the Rocks.”
Featured in A Beautiful Noise’s talented cast are Nick Fradiani and Mark Jacoby, who’ll be performing the parts of a past and current Neil. In conjunction, the duo will detail the aspects of the singer-songwriter's personas on and off the stage, uncovering intriguing new insights from his days of youth in Brooklyn to his unprecedented rise to stardom.
