  Beautiful

  November 13

  8:00pm

  
  

  Before she was hit-maker Carole King — she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with “Tapestry”, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.

  Beautiful is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Featuring such unforgettable classics as "You've Got a Friend", "One Fine Day", "So Far Away", "Take Good Care of My Baby", "Up on the Roof", "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and "Natural Woman", this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you'll never forget.

  Rated PG: Recommended for audiences ages 8 and up

  Book by Douglas McGrath
  Words and Music by Gerry Goffin & Carole King and Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil
  Music by Arrangement with Sony/ATV Music Publishing
  Produced on the New York Stage by Harold Prince

  ACT is offering RNN members an exclusive discount for the show Les Miserables*

  June 18th 7:00PM

  
  

  One of the most celebrated musicals of all time, LES MISÉRABLES is an epic story of love, courage, sacrifice, and redemption. Set against the turbulent backdrop of 19th-century France, Jean Valjean is given a second chance at life - but finds himself relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert as revolution begins to stir in the streets of Paris. Their extraordinary journey unfolds alongside unforgettable characters whose lives collide in the pursuit of love, justice, freedom, and hope. Featuring one of the most thrilling scores ever written for the stage (including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “Master of the House,” and “One Day More”) - LES MISÉRABLES is a breathtaking theatrical experience and a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. A.C.T. of CT’s production will be directed by our award winning Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine, for whom LES MISÉRABLES holds a particularly special place: Levine appeared in the Broadway production in the mid-1990s. Now, more than 30 years later, he returns to the musical that helped launch his Broadway career - this time, from the director’s chair.

  Rated PG: Recommended for audiences ages 10 and up
