BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL Comes to Cumberland Country Playhouse This Month
Performances begin on September 20.
Her music inspired generations… and beginning September 20, Cumberland County Playhouse will present Beautiful: The Carole King Musical! Before she was hit-maker Carole King, she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with “Tapestry,” Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began - and takes you on the ride of a lifetime. Featuring such unforgettable classics as "You've Got a Friend", "One Fine Day", "So Far Away", "Take Good Care of My Baby", "Up on the Roof", "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and "Natural Woman", this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you'll never forget.
