A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical at Keller Auditorium

Take part in the groundbreaking theatrical celebration in honor of one of the country's MOST SPECTACULAR rock legends! This winter of 2026, A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Musical will kick off a string of highly anticipated exhibitions for its all-new national tour, including an appearance at the Keller Auditorium on Saturday 10th January 2026.
“Music was phenomenal. If you close your eyes, you’d swear up and down that you were at a real Neil Diamond concert.”
The Neil Diamond Musical is headed by Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer and presents a critically praised book by BAFTA Award-winning writer Anthony McCarten.
Through entrancing dance and song numbers, this forthcoming musical recounts the exclusive off-stage tales of GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Neil Diamond.
The musician himself closely collaborated with the production to retain its genuineness, adamantly championing mental health awareness with a narrative framed through Neil’s therapy sessions. Keen theater-goers are also in for a thrilling surprise as the event offers a selection of his best-selling hits, such as “Solitary Man,” “Holly Holy,” and “Love on the Rocks.”
Fronting A Beautiful Noise’s brilliant cast are lead actors Nick Fradiani and Mark Jacoby, who’ll be performing the roles of a young and old Neil Diamond. Together, the two will interpret the subtleties of the singer-songwriter's backstage and onstage personas, unveiling intriguing new angles from his boyhood days in Brooklyn to his record-breaking rise to global fame.
