"Beautiful" presented at Bass Hall

BEAUTIFUL
play program

The travelling tour show of the successful Broadway musical, "Beautiful", recently made a stop at Bass Hall in Fort Worth. The musical is based on the story of the early life of songwriter Carole King and her writing partner at the time, Gerry Goffin. Through many tribulations, Carole goes from being a naive young girl to becoming a more confident performer on her own. Between 1955 - 1999 Carole wrote 118 pop hits!

Just a few of the songs that were part of the musical were:

Be-Bop-A Lula

Some Kind of Wonderful

Take Good Care of My Baby

Will You Love Me Tomorrow

Up On The Roof

On Broadway

You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling

And don't forget, "The Locomotion" sung by Little Eva, who at the time was Carole and Gerry's babysitter.

All of the cast members were so good in their roles along with all the singing and dancing they had to perform.  The stage setting, which has to be moved from city to city, really set the story line. And the costumes reflected the times as the story moved from one era to another. 

If you are within that certain age range as is The Travelling Toe, then you will have many fond memories of the songs performed

Dear Friend and The Travelling Toe agreed that this was one of the BEST shows of the Broadway at the Bass season.  If it comes your way do go see it, as the music was wonderful!  Your toes will not stop tapping!
