WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL ABOUT?

HER NAME IS CAROLE KING. HER STORY IS BEAUTIFUL.

BEAUTIFUL is the untold story of Carole King’s journey from schoolgirl to superstar; from her relationship with husband and song-writing partner Gerry Goffin, their close friendship and playful rivalry with fellow song-writing duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, to her remarkable rise to stardom becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.

Long before she was Carole King, the chart-topping music legend, she was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent.

She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and sold her first hit, Will You Love Me Tomorrow , when she was just seventeen.

By the time she reached her twenties she had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll from Aretha Franklin to The Monkees , The Drifters , to The Shirelles .

She wrote the soundtrack to a generation, with countless classics such as You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman , Take Good Care of my Baby , You’ve Got a Friend , So Far Away , It Might As Well Rain Until September , Up on the Roof , and Locomotion . 

But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
