The incredible journey of how Carol Klein of Brooklyn became Carole King, world-famous pop icon and hitmaker. Before she broke out as a solo superstar, Carole King wrote songs that would shape a generation, songs that became hits for the biggest names in music—Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, the Drifters and the Shirelles. This captivating Tony Award-winning musical includes over two dozen timeless hits like “You’ve Got a Friend”, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Natural Woman,” and “I Feel the Earth Move." Beautiful takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime with one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.
The Axelrod production is directed and choreographed by Luis Salgado and stars Kyra Kennedy as Carole King.
