The show also told a powerful generational story: in tracing King's path to liberation, it mirrored the larger feminist movements of the 60s and 70s. I thought the show was just okay, but my mom felt like her story was being told, and she was tremendously moved by it.

I agree. I saw it with my sister and my niece and they enjoyed it tremendously. My brother-in-law and I liked it though not as much as they did. I think you have explained the reason very well.

I have no particular affection for King, whose music is all before my time, but "Beautiful" is a good piece of theater. I have seen a lot of the other jukebox shows -- "Jersey Boys," "Temptations," "Motown," etc. -- and I don't think that's true of any of the others.
