Beautiful The Carole King Musical Chicago | Oriental Theatre, Broadway in Chicago

Rediscover some of the most unforgettable pop songs from the 20th Century coming to Chicago during the 2015-2016 Broadway season.

Beautiful – The Carole King Musical traces the life and career of Carole King and the struggles she encounters along her way to stardom and international success. Before breaking into the record business, Carole was a simple Brooklyn teenager who dreamed of writing pop songs. That dream becomes a reality even before she reaches her 20s, by partnering with her husband Gerry Goffin and forming a lasting friendship with composing couple Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. Before she can even realize it, King becomes one of the most famous acts in music history, writing hit songs for artists like: The Monkees, The Shirelles, Little Eva and Aretha Franklin. But when her personal life begins to fall apart, she finally finds her true voice and inspiration. Her first solo album – Tapestry, features some of the most well-known tracks of all times and represents the soundtrack of a generation.

Beautiful – The Carole King Musical is based on a book by Academy Award nominee Douglas McGrath and features King’s timless hits such as: Will You Love Me Tomorrow, I Feel The Earth Move, So Far Away, You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, Locomotion and One Fine Day. Direction is handled by Marc Bruni while Josh Prince leads the choreography.

Since it first appeared on stage in January 2014, Beautiful has spanned an entire generation. During her outstanding career, Carole King has made over 20 albums while Tapestry has held the record for most weeks as Billboard’s Number 1 album by a female artist for over 20 years.
