Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with
passion and chutzpah. 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.
Welcomed by United Capital, BEAUTIFUL—The Carole King Musical 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. It features a stunning array of beloved songs written by
Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, including “I Feel The Earth Move,” “One Fine Day,”
“(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got A Friend” and of course the title song.
