Grab your Beautiful the Carole King Musical tickets to ‘feel the earth move’ with the singer’s biggest hits
Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical has enjoyed smash-hit success since opening at the Aldwych Theatre in London, with Katie Brayben winning the 2015 Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, for her starring role as Carole King.
Depicting the life and achievements of Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Carole King, Beautiful is a triumphant tale of overcoming confidence issues and sexism in the industry, as well as infidelity and how King became a successful solo artist in her own right. Beautiful begins with King as a shy teenager working in the recording business. Soon, she finds creative success with her husband Gerry Goffin, but with quiet aspirations of her own, King soon realises she is struggling to make good in a male-dominated industry.
Beautiful features hit after hit of popular songs, including “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”, “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman”, and of course “Beautiful”. Other musical numbers include “Happy Days Are Here Again”, “Uptown”, and “I Feel the Earth Move”. Directed by Marc Bruni, Beautiful features a book by Douglas McGrath, words and music by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, choreography by Josh Prince and scenic design by Derek McLane.
Beautiful has become one of London’s most popular jukebox musicals, alongside Jersey Boys at the brand new Trafalgar Theatre; Tina: The Tina Turner Musical at the Aldywch Theatre; and the iconic Mamma Mia at the Novello Theatre.
