‘Beautiful: The Carole King Musical’ to Grace Riverside Theater Stage for Seven Weeks

 

Get ready to be transported through the life and music of one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is set to take the stage at the Riverside Center for the Performing Arts starting Wednesday, September 18, 2024, for a seven-week run.

The Tony Award-winning musical, based on a book by Douglas McGrath, tells the inspiring story of Carole King, born Carole Klein, a young Brooklyn songwriter who would go on to shape the soundtrack of a generation. Audiences will witness King’s journey from her early years penning chart-toppers for stars like The Shirelles and The Drifters to her own groundbreaking solo success with her album “Tapestry.”

The musical features a score packed with King’s greatest hits, including “I Feel the Earth Move,” “One Fine Day,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” and, of course, the title song, “Beautiful.” With music and lyrics by Gerry Goffin, Carole King, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil, as well as additional arrangements by Steve Sidwell and Jason Howland, the show is a treat for fans of classic pop and rock.
