Beautiful: The Carole King Musical

JULY 16 – AUGUST 16, 2026

Book by Douglas McGrath | Words & Music by Gerry Goffin & Carole King, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil.

Festival Stage | Ages 12 +

A smash Broadway musical packed with pop hits that defined a generation

Before she was world-renowned singer-songwriter Carole King, she was Carole Klein — a Brooklyn girl with a piano, a dream, and a sound all her own. From writing chart-toppers for music’s biggest stars to becoming one herself, Carole King’s rise to fame is as powerful as the music she created. Bursting with timeless hits, including “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Natural Woman,” “Locomotion,” and more, this high-energy musical celebration takes you from the songwriting rooms of the Brill Building to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
