I saw Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and it was phenomenal. The cast was amazing, the music was amazing, and the theatre itself was impressive. I have a tendency to forget about local theater and the seating is so much better than Playhouse as the elevation allows you to have an unobstructed view when there is someone sitting in front of you. This theatre is highly recommended.
