  • Kimmel Center Cultural Campus

    Dear friends, Please join us as we welcome the triumphant return of Beautiful–The Carole King Musical to our Academy of Music, the site where this inspiring story of talent, grit, perseverance, and heart smashed our Broadway Philadelphia box office records in 2015. A standout of her generation, the story of Carole King is one that makes us want to get up out of our seats and dance along on her journey as a singer/songwriter. Here on the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus, we support new artists on their own journeys towards creating new works through both jazz and theater residencies year-round. Our 2018-19 season marks our sixth consecutive Jazz Residency, with three new teams exploring cultural ideas of identity and belonging through the jazz medium. They join a unique legacy of 13 commissioned jazz projects as part of the Kimmel Center’s larger producing vision for Philadelphia; these “Philly Made” jazz projects will bloom into full-fledged performances. The program runs through June 2019 and includes FREE kick-off events, FREE public workshops and FREE work-in-progress peeks, all culminating in world premiere concerts. Following along with these jazz residents is a unique opportunity for arts lovers to be part of the process of not only creating new works, but breathing life into art that is culturally relevant and speaks to the legacy of Philadelphia. As we leap into 2019, the Kimmel Center resolves to continue to pursue its vision to transform lives daily through the arts: offering the Greater Philadelphia school-aged children education initiatives, programming broad and diverse artists across our stages, producing new work, uniting the community through FREE monthly events, and more. Stay tuned to all things happening on the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus by signing up for our weekly Ovation e-newsletter and following on social media to chat with us at any time! Together, let’s make 2019 a year to remember for the arts in Philadelphia. Warmly,

He collaborated with Woody Allen on the screenplay for Bullets Over Broadway, for which they were nominated for an Academy Award.

He has also written and directed Nicholas Nickleby, which won the Best Ensemble Cast from the National Board of Review; Company Man; Infamous; and His Way. His essays have appeared in the New Yorker, The New Republic, Vanity Fair and The New York Times.

    GERRY GOFFIN (Words and Music). Born in Brooklyn in 1939, Gerry Goffin met Carole King at Queens College, and their musical collaboration began almost immediately. They married in 1959, and that same year wrote their first hit song “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” (The Shirelles). The duo penned more than 50 Top-40 hits including “The Locomotion,” “Natural Woman” and “Up on the Roof.” In 1987, Goffin and King were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Goffin has left an indelible mark on American music.

    CAROLE KING (Words and Music). Pop music would be very different without the contributions of Carole King, who at age 17 wrote her first #1 hit with Gerry Goffin, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” for the Shirelles. The dozens of chart hits Goffin and King wrote during this period became legendary, but it was 1971’s Tapestry that took King to the pinnacle, speaking personally to her contemporaries and providing a spiritual musical backdrop to the decade. More than 400 of her compositions have been recorded by over 1,000 artists, resulting in 100 hit singles and six Grammys.

    BARRY MANN (Words and Music) has written the melodies of some of the most influential pop songs in musical history. In addition to “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the most-played song of the last century, and the songs heard in Beautiful, he composed later standards like “Somewhere Out There” (winner of two Grammys), “Here You Come Again,” “Sometimes When We Touch,” “Just Once” and “Don’t Know Much.” Together, he and Cynthia Weil have amassed an incredible 112 pop, country

    and R&B awards from Broadcast Music Inc. for significant radio air play. He has been inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    CYNTHIA WEIL (Words and Music) is known as the lyricist of classic songs such as “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the most-played song of the 20th century. In addition to the songs heard in Beautiful, she set the words to later standards including “Somewhere Out There,” “Here You Come Again,” “He’s So Shy,” “Just Once” and “Don’t Know Much,” to name just a few. Weil has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, honored with multiple Grammy nominations and two Grammy awards for “Somewhere Out There” as the Motion Picture Song of the Year and Song of the Year.
