A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical at San Diego Civic Theatre

Be part of the trendsetting musical celebration honoring one of the country's MOST SPECTACULAR rock legends! In this year's spring season, A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Musical will kick off a string of long-awaited exhibitions for its all-new national tour, which includes an appearance on Tuesday 27th May 2025 at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
“The storyline was perfectly scripted, visually exciting, and engaging. I laughed, I cried, and sang along.”
A Beautiful Noise is headed by lauded veteran director Michael Mayer and features a universally acclaimed book by multi-awarded playwright Anthony McCarten.
Through entrancing songs, dance, and theatrics, this upcoming musical portrays the never-before-shared tales of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Neil Diamond.
The artist himself closely cooperated with the production team to retain its verity, strongly championing awareness for mental health through Neil’s therapy sessions-framed narrative. Keen fans are also in for a thrilling surprise as the musical exhibits many of his best-selling tunes, such as “I'm a Believer,” “Cherry, Cherry,” and “Song Sung Blue.”
Fronting A Beautiful Noise’s talented cast are Nick Fradiani and Mark Jacoby, who’ll be playing the parts of a young and old Neil. Alternating, the pair will detail the subtleties of the singer-songwriter's backstage and onstage personas, uncovering fascinating new angles from his days of youth in Brooklyn to his record-breaking rise to stardom.
