Not seen it but it anything with Carole King's music has to be a bit special.

She did the whole Tapestry album a couple of years ago in Hyde Park, saw the entire thing on Sky. She's still brilliant.

We saw the show in London a couple of years ago - it was brilliant. Well worth the excruciating West End price. Hope it is better priced in Blackpool though.

Saw it at The Palace Theatre in Manchester last Christmas. Great music from a very exciting era and just an encore from Tapestry.

I'm a great lover of the theatre but never really fancied this. Sounds like I may have been mistaken

It's only when you research her back catalogue that you realise how many great hits she had

Great show saw it in London a couple of years ago and at Ipswich Regent a few weeks ago. Bought Tapestry from the record stall on Accrington Market back in the early 70's using bus money saved by walking instead - £2.25 with a plastic cover.... You are in for a good night.

It has been on tour in the UK since September 2017 and I think that Blackpool from 19 June to 23 June is the last date.

She wrote so much music that other people made into hits. One of the greatest songwriters of all time.
