It’s time to say goodbye to “Beautiful Noise.”
The Neil Diamond Broadway musical will shut down on June 30th after an 18 month run. It will have played 657 performances.
The show has been running on fumes at the box office for months. Most weeks the take has been well under $750,000 although there have been some holiday peaks at over $1 million.
But “A Beautiful Noise” has soldiered on since the 2023 Tony Awards, when it didn’t garner any nominations. Other shows in that position, like the terrible production of “1776,” closed quickly. But the chance to sing “Sweet Caroline” with the audience kept “Beautiful Noise” going.
When the show opened, Will Swenson played Neil. But he left last October after a year with the production, replaced by Nick Fradiani.
“A Beautiful Noise” doesn’t end with Broadway, however. A national tour begins in September in lively downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
