News release
The hit Broadway musical “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” opens at the Canyon Theatre Guild on Saturday, featuring 23 actors who recreate the rock ’n’ roll world of the 1950s and 1960s “with timeless songs and a heartfelt story,” the CTG announced in a news release.
The play tells the story of Carole King and artists who she and her friends wrote songs for, including The Drifters, The Shirelles, Little Eva, The Righteous Brothers and Marilyn Wald.
Before she was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend Carole King, she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. The true story of Carole King’s journey takes you back to where it all began – and takes you on the ride of a lifetime, the release said.
The play features hit songs including, “It’s Too Late,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “The Locomotion,” “Take Good Care of My Baby,” “One Fine Day,” “So Far Away,” “Some Kind of Wonderful,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” and “You’ve Got A Friend.”
“You already know and love Carole King’s music – but you’ll be amazed at the iconic hits she wrote that you never knew were hers. More than just great songs, ‘Beautiful’ is an entertaining, heartfelt, and uplifting journey through her life that will stay with you long after the final note,” Director Ted Tobin said in the release.
