- A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical
With his first break into songwriting in the 1960s, his meteoric rise in the 1970s, and plenty of crushing disappointments and heart-stopping triumphs along the way, Neil Diamond has maintained an almost unthinkable level of superstardom for five straight decades. How did a poor Jewish kid from Brooklyn become one of the most universally adored showmen of all time? There’s only one way to tell it: a musical set to his era-defining smash hits that entranced the world
The Broadhurst Theatre, which opened in 1917 with a production of George Bernard Shaw’s Misalliance, is named after playwright George H. Broadhurst. Broadhurst, who was from England, came to America in 1886. Along with being a playwright, he was also managed venues, running various theatres in Milwaukee, Baltimore, and San Francisco. He then decided to open his own theatre in association with the Shubert brothers. The theatre, which was built to house both musicals and straight plays, was designed by one of the preeminent theatre architects of the time, Herbert J. Krapp. Its capacity is 1,156. The Shubert Organization owns the Broadhurst.
