Matt Ward director of Matt Ward Entertainment said the production will be a thrill to see whether you’re a fan of her music or you’re fascinated by the music business: “Carole King is the voice of a generation. The odds are good that Carole King is responsible for a song you love. ‘Natural woman’, ‘You’ve got a friend’, ‘Will you love me tomorrow’, ‘The Loco-motion’, ‘I feel the earth move’ – they’re all King compositions.” 

“From school girl to superstar, Beautiful is a remarkable story that will stay with you long after you leave the theatre. As a female songwriter in the 1960s, she impressively overcame barriers and sold her first hit, ‘Will you love me tomorrow’ by age seventeen. By the time she was twenty she wrote chart toppers for the biggest acts in Rock & Roll – Aretha Franklin, The Drifters, The Shirelles and The Monkees.”
