“In a role she was born to play, Brianna Kothari Barnes shines as Carole King. Her vocals soar and she convincingly captures the many facets from a pony-tailed teenage wanna-be songwriter to the composer of countless pop hits…to finding her own voice and recording her own compositions…”
-Lori Schneider, Aisle Seat
(Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, The Forestburgh Playhouse)
"Carole, and Brianna, really are 'beautiful' in more ways than one, and one can imagine, and even hope, to see Brianna play Ms.
King in a tribute concert someday somewhere. She’s that believable."
-Florida Theatre On Stage
(Carole King inBeautiful: The Carole King Musical, The Maltz Jupiter Theatre)
“The stunning Brianna Kothari Barnes sings the hell out of these numbers…Barnes carries the production handily, carving out King’s journey from ugly duckling to swan, finding her confident singing voice along the way.”
