Carole King musical Beautiful, which premiered on Broadway in January, is rumoured to be coming to the West End next year.

The show tells the true story of King's rise to stardom from being part of a chart-topping 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 pop.

According to the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, Beautiful "will run at the Aldwych Theatre early in 2015".
