Rob,
Saw Beautiful with my three years ago. Fantastic show! Great music, amazing performances and educational if you don't know much about Carol King. Definitely worth seeing!

"Jukebox musical" - find an existing body of excellent, and even well known songs by a popular artist or group, then construct the story around that, rather than the other way around.
That way there's much less need for assembling talented composers and librettists - the hits and "show stoppers" are already pre-composed.
- Beautiful - Carol King
- Mama Mia - ABBA
- Jersey Boys - The Four Seasons
- Million Dollar Quartet - various
- Rock of Ages - various
and many others
