Carole King is one of the world’s greatest songwriting legends, having
penned and performed classic tunes as well as being the genius behind
several other artists’ hits.
This June, her talents are being celebrated in a brand new musical revue show, The Carole King Songbook. The two-hour adventure explores Carole King’s fascinating musical journey, so audiences can expect hit after hit.
The Carole King Songbook will feature classics such as “Beautiful”, “(You
Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”, “The Loco-Motion”, “He’s Sure The Boy I Love”, “Take Good Care Of My Baby”, “Up On The Roof”, “You’ve Got A Friend” and “One Fine Day”.
The small cast of leading vocalists and musicians provide an intimate and original show to take on other well-known Jukebox-style musicals. The concert-style musical puts heavy focus on Carole King’s music, including her work for artists such as The Drifters and Neil Sedaka.
Jamie Hudson, Producer of the show, said: “Carole King’s music is very much still treasured by all ages today. Those who don’t think they’re familiar with Carole King’s music will be surprised by how many tunes in the show they recognise. Her songs are timeless and The Carole King Songbook recognises and celebrates that.”
The show will also include video projection and multi-media technology, providing an intriguing visual element to the show.
The Carole King Songbook is the first original production from Yeadon Town Hall. The building was recently taken over by Yeadon Town Hall CIC from Leeds City Council, and this new production signifies a great step forward for the venue – providing professional theatre to the local and wider community
The world premiere of the show will take place at Yeadon Town Hall from 13th-15th June, before embarking on a UK tour in the summer of 2019. There are also plans to continue the tour throughout 2020.
Jamie continued: “We’re delighted to be taking this original production on tour, showing the talents of Yeadon Town Hall and really putting the venue’s name on the map. As we continue restoring and regenerating the building, we hope to also grow our reputation both locally and nationally.”
