The show opened on Broadway in January to strong sales and critical reception. It tells the real-life story of King's childhood as a shy teenager, her rise to super stardom as part of a chart-topping songwriting duo 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 pop.
The production will feature an entirely English cast.

Speaking today King said: "This show is an honest portrayal of my early life with Gerry Goffin and our friendship with our competitors Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. It captures the essence of my emergence as a singer and my growth as a woman. I love that the next chapter of the Beautiful story is taking place in London's West End. I have so many good friends in London and warm memories of good times there. I can't wait to re-visit."
Public booking for the show opens today, 5 September 2014, and the production is currently booking to 13 June 2015.
