Producers Paul Blake and Sony/ATV Music Publishing confirmed today that the remainder of the Pre-Broadway World Premiere run of the highly anticipated new musical Beautiful-The Carole King Musical is officially sold out at San Francisco's SHN Curran Theatre.

According to the New York Post, the legendary Carole King isn't quite ready to watch the new musical about her that's currently running in San Francisco before heading to Broadway in early 2014. They report that 'It's not an easy thing to watch your life played out onstage. Carole's excited about the show, but isn't ready to see it," explained a rep for the production, which begins with King onstage at Carnegie Hall in the era of her 1971 smash "Tapestry." In the audience were King's ex-husband Gerry Goffin and songwriters Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann.'

SHNSF's Curran Theatre in San Francisco hosts the world premiere of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical - a hit-filled bio-musical about the woman whose songs epitomized the late 60s and early 70's. Her album 'Tapestry' (with songs like 'It's Too Late,' 'I Feel the Earth Move,' and 'You've Got A Friend') soared to #1 and stayed on the charts for a record-breaking six years. King's story is the stuff of dreams, but heartache came first as it often does. How she moved from churning out hit after hit for other artists, to playing Carnegie Hall as a solo artist, is what 'Beautiful' is all about. Playing now through Oct. 20 before it heads to Broadway, 'Beautiful' is a hit show with a bullet.
