She wrote the hits. Now hear her story. 

Theatre Under The Stars brings you an all-new production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, the inspiring story of a girl from Brooklyn who became one of the most successful singer-songwriters in music history. 

Before she was a star, Carole King was crafting chart-toppers for artists like The Shirelles, The Drifters, and Aretha Franklin—songs that defined a generation. As her personal life shifted, so did her voice, culminating in the groundbreaking Tapestry album and a sound all her own. 

With unforgettable hits like “It’s Too Late,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” “So Far Away,” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” Beautiful is a moving, music-filled portrait of resilience, self-discovery, and the healing power of song. 

Experience it like never before—only at Theatre Under The Stars.
