Drew Cohen, President and CEO of MTI, stated, 鈥淪itting in the Sondheim Theatre, you can't help but smile at the audience's elation and recognition each time a song begins. The enduring and ubiquitous Carole King catalog, blended with many other greatest hits of the era, are instantly familiar to audience members of all generations because these songs are everywhere even today.
鈥淎s told by Doug McGrath, Carole King's life story is funny and quite moving. It is an uplifting story of independence, self-empowerment and of course tremendous success. Anyone who sees the show wants to turn around and see it again鈥攚hat more could a producer ask for? We are extremely proud to represent this exciting musical.鈥�
