Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is the untold story of Carole King’s journey from school girl to superstar. From her relationship with husband and song-writing partner, Gerry Goffin, their close friendship and playful rivalry with fellow song-writing duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, to her remarkable rise to stardom.

Carole King fought her way into the record industry as a teenager and sold her first hit when she was just seventeen years of age. By the time she was twenty she was writing number one songs for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll history to include: The Drifters, The Shirelles, Aretha Franklin and the Monkees. Her greatest challenge was to find her own voice and step into the spotlight.
