"Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" - Review by Jeffrey Leibham
****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**** You may just about have felt the earth move under your feet if you were in the audience at Marriott Theatre's opening night performance of The sustained ovation during the curtain call -- and subsequent audience sing-along -- was certainly justified as this is one of the best versions of this popular show that you may get to witness. Powerful voices and very strong acting lift this story of one particular artist's journey of self-discovery that leads to personal triumph and female empowerment. You may not know Carole King's story, but you will definitely recognize many --if not most -- of the songs that she composed. 4 SPOTLIGHTS
