The Naples Pulse Weekly
Curated local events for Naples, by interest
Good morning, Naples.
This week has a nice early-May mix: a big theater opening, a polished ballet night, a museum evening, garden color, and the kind of brunch-and-waterfront weekend Naples does so well.
The standout is Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at Gulfshore Playhouse, which officially opens Thursday and runs into May. If you want a feel-good theater night with songs people actually know, that is the one to look at first.
A few other picks worth locking in: Art After Hours at The Baker Museum tonight, the ATOS Trio on Thursday, Ritz afternoon tea or Sails brunch over the weekend, and a strong Sunday classical double-header at Artis-Naples.

This Week's Headliner
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical Opens at Gulfshore Playhouse
Opening night Thursday, April 30 | Runs through Sunday, May 31 | Gulfshore Playhouse
A strong theater week starts with a name people know before they ever read the fine print. Beautiful follows Carole King from young songwriter to one of the defining voices of her generation, with a soundtrack that includes Natural Woman, I Feel the Earth Move, One Fine Day, and more.
This is an easy recommendation because it hits several Naples sweet spots: polished production, familiar music, a real story, and a new run that gives readers room to choose the night that works for them.
If you have been waiting for a theater pick that feels both nostalgic and current, this is the one.
Quick Picks: This Weekend
Saturday: FC Naples vs. One Knoxville SC, Ritz afternoon tea, Sails Champagne Brunch, Feast on 5th, Taberna brunch, Live Music at Compass, Naples Bay Water Shuttle, Naples Princess or Pure Florida sightseeing cruises.
Sunday: Ritz afternoon tea, Sails Champagne Brunch, Taberna brunch, Naples Bay Water Shuttle, Naples Princess or Pure Florida sightseeing cruises, and a slower garden visit if you want something calm.
