Theatrical licensor [Music Theatre International](https://www.mtishows.com/?ref=broadwaynews.com) (MTI) has secured the licensing rights to “A Beautiful Noise.” The Neil Diamond bio-musical chronicles the life and career of the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter via the perspective of a series of therapy sessions.

Licensing availability for “A Beautiful Noise” will be announced.

“‘A Beautiful Noise’ is more than a musical — it’s a heartfelt celebration of Neil Diamond’s legendary catalog and the power of music to heal, inspire and bring people together,” said MTI president and CEO Drew Cohen in a statement. “From the first note to the final bows, it’s a fast-paced and dazzling journey that leaves audiences uplifted and singing all the way home. We can’t wait to see how theatres across the country embrace this show!”

“Writing a show about the life, music and legacy of the legendary Neil Diamond has been an honor and a thrill,” added “A Beautiful Noise” book writer Anthony McCarten. “This musical has a universally positive and optimistic message that will now be felt by audiences everywhere the show plays.”
