Beautiful is a splashy Broadway musical that tells the story of Carole King from her early days as a Brooklyn teenager (named Carol Klein), struggling to enter the record business.
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. Relive such famous hits as “Pieces of Your Heart,” “It’s Too Late” and “I Feel The Earth Move.”
