Following the final performance, Beautiful will then tour across the UK, opening in Bradford on 9 September 2017.

The musical, based on the early life and career of the legendary singer and songwriter Carole King, premiered in Broadway in January 2014 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre which is still calls home.
