Iconic musicians, classic musicals and shows based on movies are in the spotlight for Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's 2024 season. The eight-show season — the venue's 51st — will begin in January.

"Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" will be performed at the theater for the first time. And a new generation can see "The King and I" when the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical hits Beef & Boards' stage at 9301 Michigan Road after more than 20 years away.

Rounding out the season are silver-screen favorites-turned-stage hits "Legally Blonde" and "A Christmas Story."

Here's the full list of mainstage shows. VIP memberships are on sale now, and individual tickets will be available Oct. 1. Mainstage shows cost between $55 and $82, which includes a dinner buffet; fruit and salad bar; and coffee, tea and lemonade. Kids under age 3 aren't admitted to mainstage shows.
