This week, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical hits the VBC Concert Hall.
That has us –
1. Looking for a ticket (which you can find right here)
2. Singing ALL THE CAROLE KING SONGS!!
ABOUT THE SHOW
“BEAUTIFUL – The Carole King Musical tells the Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.”
That sounds intriguing!!

Even if you don’t think you know who Carole King is, you probably (most certainly) do. Because Beautiful the Musical is like your favorite cover band… and we’ll prove it.
