"Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" is set to grace the stage at Asolo Repertory Theatre, captivating audiences from November 16, 2024, to January 5, 2025, with previews running from November 13 to 15. This acclaimed musical, directed by Shelley Butler and featuring music direction by Angela Steiner and choreography by Banji Aborisade, celebrates the extraordinary journey of Carole King. From her early days as a teenage songwriter for top artists like Aretha Franklin and The Drifters to becoming the voice of a generation at twenty-nine, King's story is one of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Her real and relatable journey is brought to life through a collection of her most beloved hits, including "You’ve Got a Friend," "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman," and "I Feel the Earth Move." With a book by Douglas McGrath and words and music by Gerry Goffin, Carole King, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil, arranged in collaboration with Sony Music Publishing, this musical is a testament to King's enduring legacy and the power of music to narrate the complexities of life. Join us for a performance that promises not just to entertain, but to inspire and resonate with audiences of all ages.
