Beautiful: The Carole King Musical

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at Curran Theatre

Why see Beautiful: The Carole King Musical?

Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, Carol Klein was a Brooklyn girl with both passion and chutzpah. She battled her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a hot career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll.

But as her fairytale life began to crack, she finally managed to find her true voice. BEAUTIFUL tells the inspiring true story of King's meteoric rise to stardom, alongside husband and co-writer Gerry Goffin and fellow song writers Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil, set to the music that made her one of the recording industry's most enduring icons.

This pre-Broadway production stars Tony Award nominee Jessie Mueller in the title role as Carole King and is directed by Marc Bruni.

Beautiful The Carole King Story

First time to the Incline Theatre. 5 stars because of the following. 1 star for The view and location which is very impressive. We brought a 13 yr old young man and he made the effort to cross the street to snap pics of Downtown Cincy. Parked on the second level of the parking garage. Arrived shortly after 7 and there we a handful of spaces available. Purchased tickets via phone and Will call was easy and avoid fees and they sent a reminder with suggestions on parking and eating which gets 1 star. Concessions reasonably priced and available 1 star. Seats of theatre were spacious and comfortable. Another star to the cast and crew. The actress that played Carole had an amazing range and was very believable in the role. Another star for the story itself. It keeps you engaged and lets you in on how the music industry worked in the 60s and 70s. ... Read more

Blown Away

I remember Carole King's Tapestry album from my high-school days. It isthe soundtrack to many of my memories of the time. I had no idea though of the prolific talent of Carole King - writing songs for the Shirelles, Bobby Vee, Aretha Franklin and others BEFORE embarking on her own career as a performer. The show cleverly weaves her emergence as a writer and, later, as a performer with exceptional engagement across changing tastes in music and her own growth and challenges with a difficult marriage. At times I laughed, at times I had tears in my eyes but I enjoyed this show like no other. It was Beautiful!! ... Read more
