About

BEAUTIFUL tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than BEAUTIFUL music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.

    The Carole King Musical was Fantastic!!

    by LuluinDurm on 10/5/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    This show had the right amount of story line, humor, music, and a variety of singers that keep you excited from curtain up to the encore. I loved Carole's music before I went, but now I really love her - as well as her talented cohorts throughout her life. The actors and the musicians did a super job. This show is a must-see!!

    Utterly Enjoyable!

    by Anonymous on 10/4/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    It has been a l-o-n-g time since hubby & I have seen a Broadway performance so when I saw a preview ad for Beautiful I knew we'd enjoy it because the music was familiar and the genre we liked. The portrayal of Carole King's life and how her songs came to be was very interesting. The stage performances and creativity & ingenuity of set scenes were fantastic. We loved the music (of course) and there was the right amount of humor & drama mix. The actors' performances were very well done as well. With so much TV acting more easily available for viewing, it's easy to forget the amount of dedication & talent it takes to do live stage acting along with the added element of singing in musicals. The cast of Beautiful gave excellent performances.

    A must see for music lovers

    by Parless on 10/2/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    Great music and a great but sad life story. The variety of music Carol King and her husband wrote was incredible and very well performed. When the star sang Natural Woman she brought the house down.

    by PeeveyBear on 10/1/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    One of the best plays we've ever seen. We laughed, cried, and sung along. It was a LOT better than I expected, knowing nothing going in. We highly recommend it to all.

    Beautiful, is BEAUTIFUL!

    by radiocentral on 10/1/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    "Beautiful" is absolutely awesome, totally captivating. The story is excellently written and portrayed; the characters have great depth. In any story, EMOTION is the key. This one has it, and its resonance is across genders -- definitely much more than a female point of view. You'll be cheering for Carole!

    Such great memories of the years I grew up in!

    by shopr54 on 10/1/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    Was fun to hear all my favorite songs again, and to learn about Carole's life. Have been a fan for a very long time. Knew she was involved in many of the songs from the 60's but didn't know how many. The cast is very talented and all the music performed well. A "feel good", fun afternoon!

    Beautiful was truly wonderful!

    by jaxglobal on 9/30/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - Durham

    We were on the top level, as my friend had correctly told me there was not a bad seat in the house. (The only thing we missed from up there was the awesome detail on the Locomotion Ensemble's shoes!) The sound from the cast and orchestra was perfect, which is exactly what you hope for with a powerhouse cast and real life soundtrack like that!! Not only was the music of course incredible, but so was each and every cast member. We sat so riveted and enthralled watching their (Carol & Company's) lives develop on stage that we were surprised at how fast the whole performance went by. We didn't want it to end! All at once fun-filled, thrilling and heart-wrenching, the show was simply amazing.
