Years before she was Carole King, chart-topping music icon and 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with drive and chutzpah. She clawed her way into the record industry as a teenager and, when she reached her 20s, had the husband of her dreams and a successful career writing hits for the biggest names in rock ’n roll. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. Beautiful – The Carole King Musical tells the Tony® and Grammy®-winning inspiring true story of King’s astounding ascent to superstardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her collaborations with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.
