Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
About the Show
THE STORY
A GIRL WHO BECAME KING
Before she was Carole King — chart-topping music legend — she was Carol Klein, a Brooklyn girl with passion and an extraordinary ear for melody. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll.
It wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally found her own voice. Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of Carole King's remarkable rise to stardom — from her hit songwriting partnership with husband Gerry Goffin, to her friendship with fellow writers Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to her ultimate triumph as one of the most successful solo artists in music history.
Along the way, she didn't just make beautiful music. She wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
