'A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical' Is Coming To Adelaide

Neil Diamond fans are in for a treat next year when A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical hits Adelaide.

Held at Her Majesty's Theatre from Sunday 23 May until Sunday 20 June 2027, the production brings the story of Neil Diamond to life through his biggest songs, including 'America', 'Forever in Blue Jeans' and the incomparable 'Sweet Caroline'.

Following a hugely successful Melbourne season, with record-breaking sales at the Princess Theatre and glowing reviews, the smash-hit Broadway show opens in Sydney this weekend before arriving in Brisbane and then Adelaide next year.

Presented in Australia by producers Paul Dainty AO and TEG Dainty, Ken Davenport and Bob Gaudio, and created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Story tracks Diamond's journey from a kid in Brooklyn to one of the most successful and beloved performers of all time.

"Some of my most thrilling nights have been while sharing my music with audiences around the world," said Neil Diamond. "A Beautiful Noise has already had an incredible journey on Broadway and is currently touring across the US. I hope Australian audiences enjoy the show as much as I have."

“Bringing A Beautiful Noise to Australia is extremely special for me," said Paul Dainty AO, President and CEO of TEG DAINTY. "I've had the great privilege of working with Neil as his Australian promoter for decades, and Australia has always had a heartfelt connection with Neil Diamond’s music. I’m delighted South Australian audiences will now get to experience Neil’s incredible music and story through this production – a powerful celebration of his life, legacy and the legendary songs."

Pre-sale tickets are on sale now, with the general on-sale kicking off at 10am ACDT on Wednesday 12 November via adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au.
