The original production of Beautiful received its world premiere at the Curran Theatre, San Francisco, in October 2013, with direction by Marc Bruni and choreography by Josh Prince, and starring Jessie Mueller in a Tony Award-winning performance as Carole King and Jake Epstein as Gerry Goffin. It made its Broadway debut at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in January 2014. A West End production starring Katie Brayben as Carole began in February 2015. In March 2022, a new version of the production was launched for a UK tour from the Leicester Curve. PERSONNEL Chilina Kennedy (cast of “Beautiful”) – performance as Carole King Scott J. Campbell (cast of “Beautiful”) – performance as Gerry Goffin Janelle Monáe – vocals James Taylor – vocals, guitars Sara Bareilles – vocals, piano Aretha Franklin – vocals, piano Carole King Klein (born Carol Joan Klein; February 9, 1942 | New York City, U.S.) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who has been active since 1958. One of the most successful female songwriters of the latter half of the 20th century in the US, she wrote or co-wrote 118 pop hits on the BillboardHot 100. She also wrote 61 hits that charted in the UK, making her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts between 1962 and 2005. King's major success began in the 1960s when she and her first husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits, many of which have become standards, for numerous artists. She has continued writing for other artists since then. King wrote "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" for The Shirelles with then-husband Gerry Goffin. The dozens of chart hits Goffin King wrote during this period have become part of music legend, including "Take Good Care of My Baby" (Bobby Vee, 1961), "The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva, 1962), "Up On The Roof" (The Drifters, 1962), "Chains" (The Cookies, 1962; The Beatles, 1963), "One Fine Day" (The Chiffons, 1963), "Hey Girl" (Freddie Scott, 1963), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits, 1964), "Just Once In My Life" (with Phil Spector for The Righteous Brothers, 1965), and "Don't Bring Me Down" (The Animals, 1966). King's success as a performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut album Writer, King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a performer and songwriter.[10] She is the recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored. She is also a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree. The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. #KCH #KCHonors #KennedyCenterHonors #CaroleKing #JohnKerry #ChilinaKennedy #ScottJCampbell #JanelleMonae #JamesTaylor #SaraBareilles #ArethaFranklin #BrillBuilding #Pop #PopRock #Rock #SingerSongwriter #SoftRock #Achievement #Awards #Celebration #Ceremony #Concert #Culture #Gala #Honors #Legend #Live #Music #Musica #Performance #Tribute #JUKEBOXHEROES #JUKEBOXHEROESgoldexperience JUKEBOX HEROES @jukeboxheroesofficialchannel JUKEBOX HEROES gold experience @jukeboxheroesgoldexperience
