BREAKDOWN

BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL

SYNOPSIS: Before she was Carole King, she was Carole Klein—just a Brooklyn girl with a piano, a dream, and a sound all her own. Beautiful tells the extraordinary true story of a young woman who transformed heartbreak into hit records and found her voice in the process. King wrote chart-toppers for music’s biggest stars and eventually become one herself. Her rise to fame is as powerful as the songs that defined a generation. Packed with over two dozen timeless hits—including “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Natural Woman,” and more—this unforgettable musical celebration takes you from the songwriting rooms of the Brill Building to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Beautiful isn’t just the soundtrack of an era—it’s the story of a woman who changed music forever.

SEEKING:

ENSEMBLE – Plays iconic groups (The Drifters, The Shirelles, The Everly Brother’s, Little Eva, etc.) and various roles. Strong singers/dancers with R&B, soul, and pop style.
