“If you’re of a certain age, Beautiful is a goldmine of musical memories, stuffed with hit after hit after hit, with lyrics known by heart.”
Nancy Stetson of Florida Theater on Stage praises the Gulfshore Playhouse production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical as “a celebration of King’s music,” featuring iconic songs Carole King wrote not only for herself, but for legendary artists including The Shirelles and The Drifters.
The review calls Julia Bain “deservedly the star of the show,” praising her as “vulnerable and authentic,” while noting that Director Matt Lenz “keeps the action moving, there’s never a lull.”
Experience the songs that defined a generation – on stage only through May 31 at Gulfshore Playhouse.
