Vanessa Carlton Makes Her Broadway Debut as Carole King in "Beautiful-UPDATE

This summer, Vanessa Carlton is making her way uptown...straight to the Stephen Sondheim Theater!  Don't miss her Broadway debut as Carole King in BEAUTIFUL starting June 27.  https://t.co/E8Jf3y3jwo

Vanessa met Carole King in 2003, when they were featured in a special music issue of "In-Style" Magazine titled "You're The Inspiration". Vanessa's song "A Thousand Miles" was a triple Grammy nominee at the time. 

Carole said, "Meeting Vanessa Carlton was an uplifting experience for me.  It's encouraging to see a young woman as beautiful, talented and disciplined as Vanessa experiencing success and staying focused on the work, rather than the success.  If Vanessa is an example of the current generation of singer/songwriters, I say bring 'em on!"
