This month we are featuring Beautiful - The Carole King Musical
CAROLE KING, the chart-topping music legend, was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent.
She fought her way into the record industry as a teenager and sold her first hit, Will You Love Me Tomorrow when she was just 17.
By the time she was 20, she was writing number ones for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll, including The Drifters (Some Kind of Wonderful, Up on the Roof), The Shirelles (Will You Love Me Tomorrow), Aretha Franklin (You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman), Little Eva (The Locomotion) and the Monkees (Pleasant Valley Sunday).
But her greatest challenge was to find her own voice and finally step into the spotlight
BEAUTIFUL is the untold story of her journey from schoolgirl to superstar; from her relationship with husband and song-writing partner Gerry Goffin, their close friendship and playful rivalry with fellow song-writers Barry Mann and Synthia Weil, to her remarkable rise to stardom.
Along the way, she became one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history, and wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
