York Stage have previously staged Kinky Boots, Elf the Musical and Shrek the Musical at the Grand Opera House.

Beautiful – The Carole King Musical first premiered on Broadway in 2014. It opened in the West End in 2015, and since then has had three UK tours. It is a Tony and Grammy award-winning musical.

The show follow Carole King’s life – from her teenage years where she fought her way into the music industry and sold her first single, ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’, when she was just 17 to writing hits for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll, like Aretha Franklin, The Drifters, and The Shirelles, to finding her own voice.

Portraying the legendary icon is Yorkshire actor-musician Grace Lancaster.

Grace will sing and play Carole King’s music live on piano, accompanied by a 10 strong band and a cast of 30.

The musical will feature classic songs such as ‘You’ve Got a Friend’, ‘One Fine Day’, ‘So Far Away’, ‘Take Good Care of My Baby’, ‘Up on the Roof’, ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling’, ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’, and ‘Natural Woman’.

Tickets start from £13 and are available via the Grand Opera House website.
