Beautiful, Carole King Musical
by Julie Gilliland 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

Beck Center For The Arts Invites You To The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Beautiful, The Carole King Musical Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to produce the locally produced premiere of Beautiful, The Carole King Musical<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/beautiful>. This production will delight patrons of all ages, with beloved music enjoyed over the decades. Written by Douglas McGrath, <https://www.mtishows.com/user/901389> words and music by Gerry Goffin & Carole King<https://www.caroleking.com/>, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, this music was by arrangement with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Orchestrations, vocals, incidental music arrangements are by Steve Sidwell. Originally produced on Broadway by Paul Blake, Sony/ATV Music Publishing, and Mike Bosner. This hit musical about the life and career of legend Carole King runs in the Senney Theater on the Lakewood campus from July 12 to August 11, 2024. Additional performances Thursday, July 25, and August 1 and 8, 2024. Music direction is by Larry Goodpaster and choreography by Lauren Marousek. Cast includes Actor's Equity Association members Mikhail Roberts as Gerry Goffin and Chris Richards as Don Kirshner. Carole King is played by New York actress Elsie Carlisle. Now in his 33rd season, Beck Center for the Arts' Artistic Director, and director of this musical production, Scott Spence said, "Like the hit phenom Jersey Boys, Beautiful, The Carole King Musical 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 Beautiful 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 Tony and Grammy Award Winner, this nostalgic, yet fresh musical tells the story of the early life and career of Carole King, using songs that she wrote, often together with Gerry Goffin<https://www.mtishows.com/people/gerry-goffin>, and other contemporary hit songs by Barry Mann<https://www.mtishows.com/people/gerry-goffin> ,Cynthia Weil<https://www.mtishows.com/user/901397>, Phil Spector and others. BEAUTIFUL features a song list including such timeless hits as, "So Far Away," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," "You've Got a Friend," "I Feel the Earth Move," "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and many more. "BEAUTIFUL is a joyous celebration!" wrote Thom Geier of Entertainment Weekly. Ticket prices are $38 (adults), $34 (for seniors 65 and older), $17 for students with valid ID, and $12 for children 12 and under. A $3 service fee per single ticket will be applied at time of purchase. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

Beautiful is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com<http://www.mtishows.com/>. Recommended for ages 12 and older. Some adult language and situations. Sponsored by The John P. Murphy Foundation.

Please recall that … *The deadline for applying is September 1, 2024.. * *We welcome new comedies as well as the tried and true; compelling dramas, small scale musicals, Christmas shows, and also children’s shows —- It is our focus to entertain!!! * *Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at* *pprice203(a)gmail.com* <pprice203(a)gmail.com> **if you have not directed with us before, please include a theatrical resume * **Submit 4-5 plays that you would be interested in directing at Workshop, along with synopsis of the play (*may be copied and pasted from licensing agent)*. * *** **Give a brief summary of why you believe the play would be effective in our unique theater-in-the-round space. * **Please be prepared to have at least one copy of each script available for the play reading committee should you be selected as one of the directors. * Submitting directors *may *be interviewed by the Board of Trustees in September. After that the play reading committed will read the 25-30 plays submitted by the 5 chosen directors, The slate of shows for our 77th season will be chosen in January and the director will be notified. It is important to submit 4, or even better5 choices, so that we may end up with a balanced, exciting season. * Due to the cost of production Workshop Players would do no more than one musical in a season, therefore if submitting musicals also include some straight plays to increase your chance of being chosen to direct. Be aware that our backstage space is very limited, making massive scene changes difficult.* Attached is a list of “slept” plays that you *may or may not* use as choices. Of utmost importance is that you have a desire and a vision to direct the plays you submit. That is why we approach selecting our season in this manner instead of choosing plays, then working to find directors. The list is included incase you need inspiration. Also check out our website at workshopplayers.org for a list of plays that have been presented for the past 75 years. Thank you for considering submitting an application. Pat Price Play Reading Committee Chair -- *I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. - Neil Gaiman* *You can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will.* *- Stephen King*
