Saturday was filled with activity. We did a few chores around the house and then set sail for Seasons 52 for lunch! Love the trout!
After lunch, we went across to the Orange Country Performing Arts Center to see “Beautiful”.
Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit 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 popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
After the musical we went to The Center Club for a drink before going to the Fullerton Elks for the 60th birthday of good friend John Tielrooy. Join the 60th Birthday celebration.
We headed home around 10:30 and watched a little Star Trek. “Critical Care” is where the Doctor’s program is stolen and he is forced to work in an alien hospital, where he skillfully manipulates the system to provide ethical medical care.
