I remember Carole King's Tapestry album from my high-school days. It isthe soundtrack to many of my memories of the time. I had no idea though of the prolific talent of Carole King - writing songs for the Shirelles, Bobby Vee, Aretha Franklin and others BEFORE embarking on her own career as a performer. The show cleverly weaves her emergence as a writer and, later, as a performer with exceptional engagement across changing tastes in music and her own growth and challenges with a difficult marriage. At times I laughed, at times I had tears in my eyes but I enjoyed this show like no other. It was Beautiful!!

It's tomorrow and I STILL love you! Thank you, Carole King, for your inspiring story! Thank you to the amazing cast who brought it to life ! Like so many others, I didn't want it to end! So many magnificent songs and memories... awesome production!

Loved every minute of this performance! Cast was amazing and voices were phenomenal!! I didn’t want it to end!

First time to the Incline Theatre. 5 stars because of the following. 1 star for The view and location which is very impressive. We brought a 13 yr old young man and he made the effort to cross the street to snap pics of Downtown Cincy. Parked on the second level of the parking garage. Arrived shortly after 7 and there we a handful of spaces available. Purchased tickets via phone and Will call was easy and avoid fees and they sent a reminder with suggestions on parking and eating which gets 1 star. Concessions reasonably priced and available 1 star. Seats of theatre were spacious and comfortable. Another star to the cast and crew. The actress that played Carole had an amazing range and was very believable in the role. Another star for the story itself. It keeps you engaged and lets you in on how the music industry worked in the 60s and 70s.

"Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" at the Marriott Theatre is a masterclass in musical theatre. It brilliantly intertwines Carole King's compelling life story with her iconic music, delivered by a stellar cast whose performances are as authentic as they are powerful. The production quality, from the set design to the period-perfect costumes, immerses the audience in the era. More than just entertainment, it's an emotional journey that celebrates King's legacy, leaving a profound impact on its audience. This show is a standout, not just for King's fans but for anyone who appreciates exceptional storytelling and music.

Beautiful is BEAUTIFUL!
