Details

Beautiful (not the Carole King Musical) is the tragic story of a docker, a waitress and their forbidden love for one another. Featuring the immortal music of Sir Jon Bon Jovi*, this joyous musical extravaganza arrives with 12 Olivier nominations including Best New Musical** and universal critical acclaim***. It takes a sideways look at the pomp and circumstance of modern jukebox musicals, and asks us to question if the art of imagination is being lost to machinery, illusion and extravagance. Created by the company, from an original idea by Paul O'Donnell
