BEAUTIFUL THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL
Words & Music by: Gerry Goffin, Carole King, Barry Mann, Cynthia Well Book by: Douglas McGrath
The inspiring true story of Carole King’s journey from teenage songwriter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Before she was hit-maker Carole King — she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice.
From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with Tapestry, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.
Beautiful is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Featuring such unforgettable classics as “You’ve Got a Friend“, “One Fine Day“, “So Far Away“, “Take Good Care of My Baby“, “Up on the Roof“, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling“, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow“, and “Natural Woman“, this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you’ll never forget.
Experience the film that started it all like you never have before! With an abiding affinity for cinematic repertoire, guest conductor Anthony Parnther brings a fan’s enthusiasm to the unmistakable orchestral score to Star Wars: A New Hope, as the original 1977 film plays on the big screen with John Williams’ unforgettable score performed live by the Calgary Phil. This concert is presented in partnership with the Calgary International Film Festival.
