The story is told wonderfully through the perfectly balanced combination of songs and script. They are cleverly interwoven so that we are treated to a huge variety of hit songs that never once take away or distract from the plot.
The show takes us on Carole King's journey, from a young, driven schoolgirl to becoming dependent on her partner both in her career and in her personal life and then to being a strong, independent woman who has made her way in life despite some awfully difficult situations.
Not only are we taken on that journey, but also on a journey through the ages. The subtle changes in costume and the development of music takes us from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. The set is vibrant and colourful, giving the musical an extra dimension. |
With a fabulous selection of songs and a truly inspirational story, this musical is simply "beautiful"!

Unfortunately, the Aldwych have no student offers at all, but the chances are high that if you buy cheaper seats in the Grand Circle at the side for £15, you will get moved down a level into the better seats!
