Fountain Hills Theater announces the opening of A Beautiful Noise, a new musical revue based on the Neil Diamond songbook.

The ariZoni award-winning revue, A Beautiful Noise, created by FHT’s Artistic Director Peter J. Hill, opens Friday, May 12. It features the hits of Rock-and-Roll Hall-of-Famer Neil Diamond.

Songs include “Cracklin’ Rosie,” “Sweet Caroline,” “Brother Love’s Travelin’ Salvation Show,” “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” and many more number one hits from one of America’s favorite singer/songwriter.

One of the world's best-selling artists of all time, Neil Diamond has sold more than 120 million records worldwide since the start of his career in the 1960s.

With 38 songs in the Top 10, he is the second most successful artist in the history of the Billboard Adult Contemporary Top 10 charts. His songs have been covered internationally by many performers from a variety of musical genres.

Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. Additionally, he received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000 and in 2011 was an honoree at Kennedy Center.
