A new musical is making its way to Malvern Theatres next month.

Beautiful - The Carole King Musical tells the story of Carole King Klein, an American singer, songwriter, and musician regarded as one of the most significant and influential musicians of all time.

Leicester’s Curve, Theatre Royal Bath Productions and Mayflower Theatre Southampton will be bringing their production to Malvern Theatres from the 3rd to the 7th of May 2022.

The production will tell the story of Carole King’s rise in the music industry, set in the heart of King’s landmark 1971 album Tapestry.

Molly-Grace Cutler (of The Worst Witch, Girls Don’t Play Guitars, We’ll Live and Die in these Towns) will play Carole King.

Tom Milner (of Holby City, Waterloo Road) will play Gerry Goffin, Carole’s former husband and collaborator.

The musical will be directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, whose recent credits include  A Chorus Line and West Side Story 

Speaking about the cast, Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster said:

“Carole King’s body of work speaks for itself and it is an honour to work on a show which celebrates some of the greatest pop songs ever written and the extraordinary life of the woman who has provided the soundtrack to our lives across the decades.

“In Molly-Grace Cutler, we have the perfect actor to lead our production and embody the spirit of King’s supreme artistry. Molly leads a phenomenal company of actor-musicians, who will recreate all the hits live onstage, under the supreme musical talents of Grammy winner Steve Sidwell and Tony winner Sarah Travis.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with our friends at Theatre Royal Bath and Southampton Mayflower, flying the flag for Leicester once Beautiful tours from Curve.”
