She fought her way into the record business as a schoolgirl but it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally found her true voice and went on to become one of the most successful solo artists in pop music history.

At age 17, King penned her first Number 1 hit in colaboration with Gerry Goffin (who later became her husband), and the pair wrote dozens of chart toppers together. More than 400 of King's songs have been recorded by more than 1,000 recording artists world-wide.

Esther Hannaford has received rave reviews for her role as Carole King, and theatre-goers will know her for her critically-acclaimed performance in Little Shop of Horrors, plus shows such as Mr Burns and King Kong: The Musical. Hannaford is also an accomplished singer / songwriter herself, having released her own EP, The Great Egret. Always a fan of Carole King's music, after learning more about her inspirational life story, Hannaford is now even more enamoured with the woman herself.
