As if New York-born singer and songwriter Neil Diamond wasn’t beloved enough in Boston (just check out the home crowd singing along to “Sweet Caroline” during Red Sox games), along comes a new musical celebrating the revered performer that further solidifies his connection to Beantown. The world premiere of A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical takes place at the Hub’s historic Emerson Colonial Theatre through August 7 before moving to Broadway this fall. Chronicling the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s journey from Brooklyn to the big time, this epic tune-fest highlights all the hits, including “Cracklin’ Rosie” and “America.” Tony Award nominee Will Swenson stars as Diamond, while an all-star team that includes Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten (book), Olivier Award-winner Steven Hogget (choreography) and Tony Award-winner Michael Mayer (direction) take the reigns behind the scenes. Fans are sure to flock to this one-of-a-kind event, so be a believer and head to the Theatre District this summer.
