Beautiful: Broadway Show Opens 1/12/2014.

Beautiful, is directed by Marc Bruni and choreographed by Josh Prince.  Jessie Mueller has been tapped to topline the production.  

"What’s so great about this for me," Carole said in a statement, "is that musicals were a major influence on my songwriting. In fact, when Gerry and I first met, we made a bargain that I would write music for the Broadway show he wanted to write if he wrote lyrics for my rock ‘n’ roll songs.  The songs took off, and the show idea never came to fruition.  Now that our songs have merged with a Broadway show, we’ve come full circle."

The musical score includes songs by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, as well as by their contemporaries, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. 

The show has a book by Douglas McGrath, whose screenplay for "Bullets Over Broadway," written with Woody Allen, was nominated for an Oscar in 1995. Paul Blake and Sony/ATV Music Publishing are the producers.
