Review: A BEAUTIFUL NOISE- THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL at National Theatre
by David Friscic - Dec 6, 2024
The “beautiful noise” of music is what you hear --if you will only let the noise of the street hustle, people yelling and shouting, and personal traumas behind. Turning all of this ostensible cacophony into the therapeutic music of the soul and the heart and realizing your individual empowerment (this message is realized in the song “I Am…I Said”) -- seems to be the message in the very unique musical The Neil Diamond Musical ---A Beautiful Noise now playing at the National Theatre.
