"The national tour of A Beautiful Noise delivers a crowd-pleasing celebration of one of pop music's most successful icons, even if it does not always reach the narrative heights of other jukebox musicals like Jersey Boys or Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Where the show truly succeeds is in its fresh framing device and, most importantly, in the sheer power and familiarity of Neil Diamond's songs. Using Diamond's therapy sessions as a lens through which he reflects on his life and career is an unusual theatrical approach, and while it is not always seamless, it offers moments of insight and emotional depth that feel fresh within the genre." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"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." - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
