Re: Beautiful,Carol King story.
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

Re: Beautiful,Carol King story.
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.

Re: Beautiful,Carol King story.
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.

Re: Beautiful,Carol King story.
She wrote so much music that other people made into hits. One of the greatest songwriters of all time.
