Off to see this next Saturday in Blackpool - anyone seen it ?

Supposed to be excellent.

We saw this show on Broadway a couple of years since,brilliant.

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.

Any tickets left... Or is it to late baby?

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.

Never too late if You've got a friend to get the tickets for you.

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

I couldn't comment on the production, not seen it, but I do like Carole King.

All these years later, Tapestry is still one of my favourite albums.

Saw it in London last year. It was absolutely brilliant!

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

Tapestry is one of those special albums you just keep going back to

Was one of the first CDs I went for when switching from vinyl.
A classic.

Great show - definitely worth seeing.

I went to see the show in London 2 years ago and it was simply brilliant.

Thank you for all your replies - sounds like we are in for a real treat on Saturday.

Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning West End and Broadway show is coming to Blackpool as part of its first ever UK tour!

Long before she was Carole King, the chart-topping music legend, she was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent.
Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit song-writing team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music

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.

And for anyone who has never heard Tapestry

Looks like I’ve missed it.

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.
