Guests can embark on a musical journey through the extraordinary life and career of legendary singer-songwriter Carole King in Charleston Stage’s final production of the season, “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” presented at the Dock Street Theatre from April 10th to 28th.
This Tony, Olivier and Grammy Award-winning musical offers an intimate portrayal of Carole King's life, from her formative years as a Brooklyn teenager to her powerhouse career, writing chart-topping hits like “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and “You’ve Got a Friend.” The production follows her early collaborations with her first husband Gerry Goffin, facing adversity in her solo breakthrough career and producing one of the best-selling albums of all time, “Tapestry.” “Beautiful” will keep audiences humming, smiling and reflecting on relatable lessons every time they hear one of King’s innumerable hits.
