Beautiful, the Carole King Musical

  • Eisenhower Auditorium The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 (map)

The Center for the Performing Arts presents BEAUTIFUL, the musical about Carole King, the shy Jewish girl from Brooklyn who only gradually comes into her own as a headlining voice of a generation. She’s as beautiful as she feels.

“For five years, BEAUTIFUL, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Carole King musical, has thrilled Broadway with the inspiring true story of one woman’s remarkable journey from teenage songwriter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. From the string of pop classics she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, chart-busting success with Tapestry, BEAUTIFUL takes you back to where it all began – and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.

Featuring over two dozen pop classics, including “You’ve Got a Friend”, “One Fine Day”, “Up on the Roof”, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”, and “Natural Woman”, this crowd-pleasing international phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember – and a story you’ll never forget.”——- https://beautifulonbroadway.com/about/
