My 10 year-old daughter Amelia and I went to see Beautiful. We both really enjoyed it. We thought the set changes were very slick and the activity on stage maintained audience interest.
The cast were very talented musicians and singers. We thought Molly-Grace Cutler really stole the show as Carole. We also enjoyed Tom Milner’s performance as Gerry Goffin and Jos Slovick as Barry. And we enjoyed the performances by the Drifters. We thought all the cast acted their parts well and had good comic timing.
We thought the second act in particular was very uplifting, and by the end of the show most of the audience were on their feet. We loved the casts renditions of Carole Kings best known hits, especially ‘You’ve got a Friend’ ‘Beautiful’ and ‘I Feel the Earth Move’
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable show.
