The Carole King Musical

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is a heartwarming, soul-stirring journey through the life and career of one of the most iconic and influential singer-songwriters of all time, Carole King. This Tony Award winning Broadway hit captures not only her personal struggles and triumphs but also the incredible music that helped shape the soundtrack of the American songbook. At the heart of Beautiful is the music and the indelible mark it has had on the music industry.  You'll experience hits like Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, You've Got a Friend, Natural Women, So Far Away, and many more. And more than just songs, Carole's timeless classics speak to the universal human experiences of love, heartbreak, and hope. Many of her songs were written for established artists like Neil Sedaka and for groups like The Righteous Brothers, The Shirelles and The Drifters. Accompanied by a ten-piece on-stage orchestra, you'll be mesmerized by hit songs and sensational vocals topped off by Carole King, played by Kelly Palusis, singing Beautiful.
