Beautiful celebrates first anniversary and extends booking period

After triumphantly celebrating its first birthday in the front of a celebrity audience in the West End last night, Beautiful - The Carole King Musical  has now extended its booking period at the  Aldwych by six months to 18th  February 2017.

Commenting on the extension, Carole King said: "I had the great pleasure of seeing the West End production of Beautiful on opening night with my dear friends Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. We were all so moved that we joined the company onstage after the show in singing "You've Got a Friend" and of course we couldn't help but think of Gerry Goffin, who passed away in 2014. "I know that Gerry would join Barry, Cynthia, and me in expressing gratitude not only to the company but to audience members, many of whom are coming to see the show not just once but twice or thrice. London is one of my favourite cities. Here's to another brilliant year. Cheers!"
