Beautiful – The Carole King Musical

Settling in for a gripping drama can whisk you away from the everyday and into a world of excitement and intrigue. We all need to escape at times, and a top TV drama can take us miles from our comfort zone, offer us the chance to experience events we could only imagine and make us question our preconceptions.

But imagine if all that exhilarating action was taking place right in front of your eyes, where you can hear every breath, witness every single emotion and feel the incredible shared experience of live theatre…

Blackpool Grand Theatre has a whole host of thrilling treats for drama lovers this season that will challenge, delight and dazzle the senses.
