A Beautiful Noise (Touring) Tickets

My husband & I are both huge Neil Diamond fans & this production did not disappoint! It was filled with all his music & the lead actor was wonderful. We would highly recommend this production to all Neil Diamond fans!!!

Our seats were perfect! The actors were perfect! The music was amazing. Neil's life was portrayed in music like no other. I would go see it again and again. Close your eyes and you can hear Neil singing. WOW!!!

The show was staged in a innovated way that told the human side of the Neil Diamond story and the background ro much of his music. The direction and performance was fantastic as well. If you are a Neil Diamond fan, this show is a Must See!

To be fair, this is actually a 3.5 star rating. It's not a bad show, and you're paying less than Broadway prices to attend, so take that into account. I just located to Tidewater from New Jersey, so I'm used to Broadway productions. In the end, I would recommend you see the show, particularly if you like Neil Diamond's songs (I would play my older sister's 45 of "Cracklin' Rosie"as much as I could back in the day), yet even non-fans should enjoy this, as there's good energy. Also, I would suggest taking in weekend shows to avoid the large numbers of understudies I experienced on a Wednesday night performance. Now to my impressions. First, I was sorely disappointed to get to the show and learn that lead Nick Fradiani was being replaced in this show by Joe Caskey, whose claim to fame is portraying Elvis in (SW US) regional theater. Joe started off weakly at first, but warmed up as the show got going and was a believable Neil by the second act. The framing device of Neil-Now and his therapist isn't bad, but Robert Westenberg is not believable as Neil at any age, particularly in his duet at the end with Neil-Then. His acting, along that of Lisa Renee Pitts is subpar as well; overdone and over emotive. Perhaps that is just because it's a musical. Reading it after the show, the Playbill informed they are both seasoned award-winning actors - count me surprised. Their material was not great (particularly some fairly lame jokes) and that probably had a lot to do with it. Female lead Hannah Jewel Kohn, playing Neil's second wife Marcia, was an outstanding dancer. She can kick higher than a Rockette! Her great dance moves are accompanied with satisfactory acting for a musical. But her singing left a lot to be desired for a musical lead. Example: her time to shine in a solo of "Forever in Blue Jeans"was a great dance, yet her singing - supposed to be mournful - was just flat and uninspired. The chorus did a good job of singing the backgrounds, and their dancing was also quite good - when it wasn't being upstaged by Ms. Kohn. However, the several numbers on which they sang together as "lead"were so-so. In all, a good show for a touring production. If this comes to your town, giver serious consideration to going.

Loved the show. Super cast. Great music with very talented performers.

Outstanding performance all around. Told the story of ND Very well .

Wonderful show. Still love Neil Diamond's music. The dancers, costumes and choreography was so upbeat and fun.

If you are looking for a good county fair performance, this will meet your expectations. If you are looking for a true Broadway performance, this will fall very short!

My husband and I saw as Beautiful Noise in Greensboro in March and absolutely loved it. When I saw that it was in Norfolk we decided to drive 4+hours to see it again. It was just as good although we missed Nick Fradiani as Neil then. If you hadn’t seen Nick as Neil, you wouldn’t have know a difference. Both sang exceptionally well and sounded like Neil Diamond. If we have the opportunity, we’ll go a third time!

Such a great show. Loved the storyline. Performers excellent

This show is supper AMAZING!!!!!!!! I wasn't sure about it at first. The show started and I LOVED it from beginning to end!!!!!!! It was fantastic learning more about Neil!!!!!! Would love to see it again!!!!! Unfortunately I will be out of town😣😣😢😢

Nick Frandiani sounds just like Neil Diamond and I was swept back to they heyday of all his tunes. Masterful singing and production by Nick and all the actors, the storyline was compelling and it weaved beautifully with each song. Really enjoyable!

The music was wonderful and I especially enjoyed learning about what shaped the career and music of Neil Diamond. It’s definitely a must see while it is playing at the Pantages.

We completely enjoyed A Beautiful Noise. The cast was amazing particularly Nick Fradiani. We laughed and cried. Loved singing Sweet Caroline at the end.

Wonderful sets. Great music and performances. A worthy tribute to Neil Diamond

Loved the music but several friends and I agree that the choreography was uneven and out of sync and distracted from Neils musical performance.

One of the best musical I have seen. I would see it again

Aside from the strange silence at the beginning of the play, the rest went along really well, Nick Fradiani who plays the Young Neil Diamond was absolutely outstanding, his voice was so good. I had to listen hard to see if he was lip syncing the real Neil Diamond. Unfortunately, the guy who played the older Neil Diamond didn’t sound anything like him speaking or singing, which, although it did not distract from the show, it certainly didn’t add anything. How difficult could it have been to find an actor who could actually sound like him. The musical numbers are well presented, and the device of having Neil tell his story to a psychiatrist was very American. I would’ve been just as happy to watch Nick in concert as Neil Diamond from beginning to end such was his mastery. I would definitely recommend you go see it as long as Nic is the lead

Neil has been in my life for over 50 years and I came today to hear his music. Hearing about his life was a first today. I was happy to hear he had so much love along with the music. His relationship with his therapist was an unexpected twist and their conversation took up more of the play than the music. We had close up seats. The dancers were entertaining, costumes were amazing, voices were fabulous.

Really enjoyed “Beautiful Noise “, it was a great tribute to Neil Diamond ! I loved it! Well told the story of his career and life choices . Laughed, cried and sang . I have been a Neil Diamond fan since 1966 , so it’s a must see for anyone who loves Neil Diamond . The songs were done beautifully., the actors and dancers were great too!!
