<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Now in his 33<sup>rd</sup> season, Beck Center for the Arts’ Artistic Director, and director of this musical production, Scott Spence said, “Like the hit phenom <i>Jersey
Boys</i>, <b><i>Beautiful, The Carole King Musical</i> </b>has become one of the premiere Bio-Musicals of the past 25 years. Unlike jukebox musicals which merely display a steady stream of an artist's greatest hits, productions like <b><i>Beautiful</i> </b>are
full realizations of the musician's life and how they became sensations...and all along the way we are treated to the hit parade of their creations. Carole King's personal story is as compelling as her music is incredible. Along with her husband/partner Gerry
Goffin and their amiably competitive best friends, the audience has the privilege of witnessing the genesis of a veritable mountain of memorable music. It's a rollercoaster journey through the music of the 1960s and early 1970s that we love and cherish.<a name="_Hlk134620755">”</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
