A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical

A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical plays at the Buell Theatre from September 7 to 12, 2027. It's a musical memoir about how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-topping American rock icon, told through the songs that defined his career. The book is by Anthony McCarten and Neil Diamond, and the show was created in collaboration with Diamond himself.

If you know the music, you've already heard the soundtrack. The production draws from a career that includes 120 million albums sold and songs like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans," "Sweet Caroline," and "Cracklin' Rosie." Along the way, Diamond earned induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The show follows him from his early days in New York to the large-scale concerts that defined his career, and the Los Angeles Times called him "a national treasure."

In terms of format, it sits in the same vein as Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical—an energy-filled musical memoir that lets the songs carry the story. The production runs about two hours and 15 minutes, with one 20-minute intermission, and is recommended for audiences of all ages.

Tickets average between $40 and $200. The Buell Theatre is part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, located at 14th and Curtis in the downtown Arts Complex.
