February 24, 2016--Many in the audience might not have realized that in addition to a wonderful presentation of the musical genius of Carol King, that they were also watching a great performance that represented a vastly musically-talented family.

That’s because Abby Mueller as Carole King was sensational throughout the performance, she had a special reason to excel, because, Abby’s sister, Jessie, won a Tony for her portrayal of Ms. King.

But kudos to Abby, for not only rising to the occasion, but for a truly memorable performance.

The time she invested studying the manuscript certainly paid off for her with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play the part of one of America's greatest songwriters and icons, Carole King - in "Beautiful".

The show is also a look into the music that marked a generation. And it is a wonderful journey.

With music by The Drifters. The Righteous Brothers and Neil Sedaka, Beautiful has a little bit of something to offer to everyone, fans of all ages will enjoy this production at the Fox.

I particularly liked "Curt Bouril's" interpretation of Don Kirshner.

Be prepared, sets laden with Carole King's hits from Tapestry and other efforts are displayed, but this encompassing production focuses on the many artists whose lives were affected by Kings creative and insightful lyrics, visual scores for your ears.

Thanks to All American favorites like "up on a roof" by the Drifters and "will you still love me tomorrow" including many other songs you love, you can't help but leave the Fox walking on air.

The supporting cast of Becky Golson portraying Cynthia Weil, writing partner of Barry Mann played by Ben Frank Houser were charming indeed.

This performance at the Fox Theatre was what helps make The Fox Theatre such a memorable experience in and of itself.

Add to that, the quality of the songs and the diversity of the music throughout different genres, and you have an unforgettable evening of musical entertainment.
