It’s not just the music, but how the story of Carole King unfolds that will bring
understanding of some of the songs that Carole and her husband (Gerry Goffin) collaborated
together, to make beautiful music and an extraordinary life. If you’ve seen Jersey
Boys or Motown the Musical, then “Beautiful—The
Carole King Musical” (the early life and career of Carol Klein), is a ‘must
see’ to add to your live-onstage repertoire.
You may only have heard her music, but you didn’t know her story.
There are so many familiar songs in the show, that one might think
that the singers penned the music and lyrics themselves, nonetheless, it was
the collaboration of Carole King/Gerry Goffin, and that of Cynthia Weil/Barry
Mann. The music is so good that you will
actually be singing along with the actors on stage. And don’t take your eyes off the actors,
Little Eva (the one-time baby sitter of the King/Goffin baby girl) does a quick-change
right is plain sight while singing “Locomotion”. Yes, it happened earlier in the show too, but
I don’t recall the song or the group - it was done that smoothly.
Music was contributed to groups and solo artists as: Neil Sedaka, The Drifters, Cynthia Weil, Gerry Goffin, Little Eva, The Righteous Brothers, The Chiffons, The Shirelles, Carole King and many more; and the vocals of the tribute artists is as great as the real person.
A wonderful 13-piece orchestra has added to the superb vocals of the 18 actors on stage. The elaborate stage props move methodically in a flawless transition from one scene to another. After a 2 1/4 hour delivery, and a fifteen-minute intermission, you will leave wanting more.
“Beautiful - The Carole King Musical” is recommended for ages 10 years and older. There is no foul language but there is talk about the use of drugs. For more information and a video sneak peek, please visit www.BeautifulOnBroadway.com. You still have time to get some choice seats to see it in JAX.
