Beautiful: The Carole King Musical

19 November 2024–23 November 2024

KPAOS

Main House

Synopsis

Important: Due to mechanical problems we have had to take the lift out of service which leads to our auditorium which is situated on the first floor. It is likely that the issue shall continue for the full run of this show. Therefore please be aware when booking that access to the auditorium is by the stairs only. We are contacting wheelchair bookers, but if your booking will be affected by this please get in contact with us. Please accept our sincerest apologies.

KPAOS returns to The Little Theatre this November with the inspiring true story of Carole King’s remarkable journey from teenage songwriter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

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 takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.

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.
