She so did! None of the cast knew she was seeing the show, she surprised everyone onstage during the BC/EFA speech. She raised over $30,000 for the charity and even sang "You've Got a Friend" onstage with the cast. What a class act.
Mann-Weil ?@mannweil 1m Beautiful message from Carole_king telling me she went to see Beautiful tonight & LOVED IT! We're thrilled she felt that way! Luv her!
I'm so glad to hear she went. I recall reading she didn't want to go because she didn't want to relive the painful parts. But it makes me happy to know that she went and supported the cast. Good for her. :)

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
What so impressed me was when the entire cast sang 'their bit', EVERYONE was just so musical/on the note and each did their own minute variation. The way Ms King worked with the conductor-who was so brilliant to follow and keep it all together and finished together was just WOW to me. You might say 'they are all professionals' but the fact that that impromptu worked so effortlessly just shows how talented they all are and just why they are up there on that stage.
It's simply great for the cast & the show that she showed up & supported them. What a special night.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I'm going back to NYC in November and I'm very excited to see this show. My mom is a huge Carole King fan, so I grew up listening to her... I know most of her catalog by heart lol. Love her.
