The official description of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is as follows: "Before she was Carole King, superstar-she was Carole King, teenage songwriter. Her music would become the soundtrack to a generation.
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. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
BEAUTIFUL tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than BEAUTIFUL music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation."

Paul Williams received an Academy Award for his work on A STAR IS BORN, penning "Evergreen" with Barbra Streisand, in addition to writing countless chart-topping songs in the 1970s including hits by Three Dog Night, Helen Reddy, The Carpenters, David Bowie and more in addition to work on THE MUPPETS and other TV and film properties ranging from THE PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE to SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT and beyond.
