Slow Burn Theatre will perform Beautiful: The Carole King Musical from February 14 to March 1, 2026 in the Amaturo Theater at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
Based on the life of musician Carole King, Beautiful tells the story of her career, from her early years as a teenager to when she plays at Carnegie Hall.
Parick Fitzwater, Slow Burn co-founder and director of Beautiful, was already a fan of King’s music before working on the musical.
“She’s just a fascinating woman with an incredible brain and so much heart. And this story is really about strong women and finding their own path in an industry at a time that was not very woman-driven,” Fitzwater said.
Fitzwater said so far, casting has been his favorite part about putting together “Beautiful.” Actress Monet Sabel plays King in the musical, and Fitzwater found her character interesting to cast.
“You’re looking for an actor that can play the youth of it, but also play the wisdom at the end of the show, of the journey that she goes through,” Fitzwater said. “Trying to find an actor like Monet, that can embody that whole journey and be vulnerable, but yet be strong, and then have such an iconic, powerful voice like Carol King, is really important to the role.”
Beautiful features multiple songs from King’s life, including “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Up on the Roof” and “So Far Away.”
Fitzwater said King’s songs are a staple in the music industry and looks forward to the cast performing them live.
“I think that everyone could use a story of strength, a story of resilience, a story of making your own way in the world,” Fitzwater said. “I’m really just excited to have the audience be wrapped up in a warm hug that only Carol King can give.”
After Beautiful, Slow Burn will also perform “Hairspray” from April 11-16, 2026 and “Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill” from June 13-28, 2026.
“We’re very excited about the other remaining shows that we have this year. It’s a great season,” Fitzwater said.
Tickets for Beautiful are available now on Ticketmaster.
