Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is the inspiring true story of Carole King’s journey from teenage songwriter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Before she was hit-maker Carole King — she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice.
From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with her album Tapestry, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes audiences back to where it all began.
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil.
Featuring such unforgettable classics as “You’ve Got a Friend”, “One Fine Day”, “So Far Away”, “Take Good Care of My Baby”, “Up on the Roof”, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”, and “Natural Woman”, this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you’ll never forget.
