First time seeing a play and loved it.
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
Your floor manager was great. I had booked seats in the dress circle area, but my mom could not walk much let alone climb stairs, she let us sit on the main floor (in the corner with obstructed view), but I really appreciate her help. Thank you.

The theatre was the perfect intimate size for this great show. I was surprised that it was not running longer as it was superb. Great cast, very talented acting and vocals.

Better Than Expected
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
I was blown away of how great this play was. If this was not the last day, I would have tried to come see it again. There was a couple next to us that said this was their third time seeing it and now know what they mean. I've been a Carol King fan for year and loved her music, but the backstory and how some of her personal life evolved was well told and acted out fantastically. I couldn't have been more pleased in choosing to go and left with a great smile on my face. Hope it comes back again!

Incredible
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
Didn’t know what to expect going in, not sure if it would be more of a concert or Broadway show. Turned out to be a fantastic blend of both worlds. Voices were amazing, story was moving while being incredibly fun! Highly recommend for all ages; you don’t have to just like old time storytelling music to love this show.

like many who attended, Carole King played a part in my teenage years, & i felt drawn to this musical. it did not disappoint. my sister, cousin, & i sang and teared up as we took that wonderful walk back in time. this play was so well orchestrated. it was captivating, the actors were magnificent, their singing and dancing were spot on-flawless! i wanted to get up on stage with them and participate. thank you for bringing this show back as i was heartbroken that i'd heard about it too late the first time around and missed my chance. i highly recommend to anyone hesitant about attending!!

Amazing

I loved Beautiful; I remembered almost all the songs from my youth. The theater experience was also great. There were securtity guards at every door to check ID's and Covid cards. Everything was quick and smooth. The usher knew exactly where my seat was and the ticket on my phone was very efficient too.

CIBC Theatre - Chicago
Loved everything about this experience, seamless entry, wonderful open hospitality with ushers. Musical was spellbinding, totally keeping your attention throughout the experience. Music and voices were so authentic it transformed me back to the days that I listened to "Tapestry" over and over singing all the tunes at the top of my voice! Thank you to all...and of course the iconic Carole King.

Great show
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
Was a really great show, felt very comfortable with the screening in the begining. Was on the Mezzanine level. very crowded during intermission and after the show. Kinda close, no distancing at all. Everyone had masks on and was vaccinated, so hope all is well. Otherwise was a great experience. Just these times we are lioving in!

Loved the staging, it brought back SO many memories!

Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
Featuring 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 the title song, BEAUTIFUL has a book by and Tony® Award-nominee and Academy® Award-nominated writer Douglas McGrath, direction by Marc Bruni, choreography by Josh Prince, and took home two 2014 Tony® Awards and a 2015 Grammy® Award.
