RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio audio described theatre reviews.
This week Vidar was reviewing the audio described performance of Beautiful - The Carole King Musical at the Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre on Saturday 3 September at 2.30pm with audio description by professional Describers Julia Grundy and Jonathan Nash.
Long before she was Carole King, the chart-topping music legend, she was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent.
Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.
Along the way, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation, with countless classics such as
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Take Good Care of My Baby, You’ve Got a Friend, So Far Away, It Might as Well Rain Until September, Up on the Roof, and
The Locomotion.
Vidar began by telling Toby that although this was the second time he had seen Beautiful - The Carole King Musical, he was struck by how many tunes Carole King had written that had become both hits for her and for other artists, how he felt there was a good balance between Carole King’s story and her hits in this new production and how much the audio description by Julia and Jonathan enhanced his enjoyment of the show.
Beautiful - The Carole King Musical continues on tour around the UK and more details can be found by visiting the following website -
