BEAUTIFUL: The Carole King Musical

Carole King was the voice of a generation, and her unforgettable life story comes to Broadway in this new musical. Before she became a chart-topping solo artist recording her own material, she was Carole Klein, an awkward teenager with a dream of writing pop songs. By the time she reached her 20s, she had a partnership with her husband, Gerry Goffin, and together they turned out hits for such artists as The Monkees, The Shirelles, The Drifters, Little Eva and Aretha Franklin. But when her personal life began to fall apart, Carole struck out on her own both as a writer and performer, becoming one of the top acts in pop music history. Her first solo album, “Tapestry,” became the soundtrack for a rebellious and soul-searching America.

Tony nominee Jessie Mueller (On a Clear Day You Can See Forever) stars as King in this life-affirming, beautiful show. The score is chock-full of such King hits as “I Feel the Earth Move,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?,” “So Far Away,” “One Fine Day,” and “Natural Woman.” The book is by Oscar nominee Douglas McGrath, who co-wrote the screenplay for Bullets Over Broadway with Woody Allen. Marc Bruni (The Explorers’ Club, Old Jews Telling Jokes) directs.
