Denver Westword

“A tapestry of great hits.”

- The Guardian

When Carole King trusted her instincts and forged her own path, a shy, Jewish girl raised in Brooklyn became one of the biggest songwriters in the world. The inspiring true story of King’s life, songwriting process, and rise to stardom features a stunning array of iconic hits like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Up on the Roof,” and “So Far Away.”

This Tony and Grammy award-winning jukebox musical hit shows how much American culture has changed since the 1960s, with special appearances by some of the songwriters King worked with, and the musical acts that performed her songs.

When Carole King wrote hits for the stars, she became a star herself.
