One of the world's most successful singer- songwriters, Carole King's catalogue of hits includes So Far Away, It Might As Well Rain Until September, Take Good Care of my Baby, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Up on the Roof, Locomotion, One Fine Day, You’ve Got a Friend, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and I Feel the Earth Move.
Beautiful - The Carole King Musical is currently booking at London's Aldwych Theatre until 18 February 2017.
