MANHATTAN — McCain Performance Series at Kansas State University continues its blockbuster lineup with "BEAUTIFUL — The Carole King Musical" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 2, in McCain Auditorium.
The musical tells the 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 Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, 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.
The show features an array of beloved songs written by Goffin and King and Mann and Weil, including "I Feel The Earth Move," "One Fine Day," "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "You've Got A Friend" and the title song, "BEAUTIFUL," which is also a book by Tony Award nominee and Academy Award-nominated writer Douglas McGrath. The Broadway musical was directed by Marc Bruni and choreographed by Josh Prince. It won two 2014 Tony Awards and the 2015 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.
Tickets are available online at mccain.k-state.edu or at the Ticket Services Office in the newly expanded McCain lobby from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays. Tickets are available by phone, 785-532-6428, during the same hours. Kids 18 and under get 50% off the general price of admission.
