A Beautiful Noise is the name of the musical as it will see its world premiere on June 21, 2022 at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre. The musical will have a limited four-week run, playing through July 17, 2022, before heading to Broadway.

“I’ve had the joy of coming to Boston on countless occasions, but one of the most special was my 2013 trip to Fenway where I had the honor of being part of a moment of relief, unity, strength, and love,” Diamond said in a statement.

“Next summer, when A Beautiful Noise has its first performance at the Emerson Colonial Theatre, and we’re all able to safely be in the same space together, experiencing the thrill of live theater, I imagine those same emotions will wash over me and the entire audience. Relief... Unity... Strength… Love…  I can’t wait to share that experience.”

A Beautiful Noise is produced by Ken Davenport and Bob Gaudio and will be directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer. The musical will look at Diamond’s upbringing in Brooklyn, the early stages of his career in the ‘60s, his breakthrough to stardom in the ‘70s, and the later stages of his career.

The musical was initially announced in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic had forced it to delay. A Beautiful Noise will represent the first new show to announce an engagement at the Emerson Colonial Theatre since the beginning of the pandemic.

Casting, creative team, and ticket on sale dates for A Beautiful Noise in Boston will be announced shortly.
