Synopsis:

Before she was hit-maker Carole King - she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with “Tapestry”, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began - and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.

Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of Carole King's meteoric rise to fame as one of the twentieth century's foremost singer-songwriters. We are introduced to Carole when she is 16 and pitching her first song to New York music producer Don Kirshner. Soon after, she meets her future husband and creative collaborator, Gerry Goffin. In a musical whirlwind, the couple are married, King gives birth to their first child and the duo make a name for themselves in the music business, knocking out hit after hit.

However, while their careers are on the rise, Carole's personal life falls apart when Gerry announces that he wants an affair. As Carole tries to negotiate marriage, adultery and personal happiness, she is supported by friends and playful rivals, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. Although they all compete for number one hits on the pop chart, Carole relies on their support to change her life and find her own voice.

Beautiful is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Featuring such unforgettable classics as "You've Got a Friend," "One Fine Day," "So Far Away," "Take Good Care of My Baby," "Up on the Roof," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," and "Natural Woman," this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you'll never forget.

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS

CAROLE KING – The title character. An aspiring singer/songwriter from Brooklyn. A unique, appealing, funny and vulnerable girl from a Jewish family. Talented, good natured, unassuming and often the peace maker in difficult situations. A reluctant star with no pretense and a passion for music.

GERRY GOFFIN – Carole's boyfriend, song writing partner and eventual husband. Innately sympathetic, wounded, handsome, and charming lyricist who becomes increasingly self-destructive as success grows.

CYNTHIA WEIL – Lyricist and Carole's friend/rival. Barry's girlfriend and eventual wife. Brilliant, strong-willed, and ambitious. Sharp-tongued but ultimately supportive friend to Carole.

BARRY MANN – Composer and Gerry's friend/rival. Cynthia's boyfriend and eventual husband. Talented, neurotic, and competitive songwriter. Funny and endearing despite his anxieties.

DON KIRSHNER – Successful record producer and music publisher working at the Brill Building. Stone-faced, to-the-point, maybe a little gruff, but a softy at heart who cares about his writers.

GENIE KLEIN – Carole's mother. A stereotypical mid-century mother who is brash and un-hip at points, but always steps up for her daughter. Shows tough love but has a tender side when Carole needs support.
