"The show which is jam packed with iconic songs is sure to delight audiences and compliment what’s fast becoming an incredible line up of shows in 2018.”

The original West End production ran at London’s Aldwych Theatre for two and a half years. Carole King attended the opening night in February 2015, joining the cast on stage for the finale.

The show follows the inspiring true story of her rise to stardom, writing alongside husband Gerry Goffin, and her writing and friendship with Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming a successful solo act in her own right.

Carole King’s hit songs include You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, You’ve Got A Friend, Up On The Roof and Locomotion.

The producers of the show said: “We know that the rest of the country will take this great show with the most wonderful songs to its heart.”

The tour opens on Saturday in Bradford.
