Hi Broadway fans, If you've seen Beautiful: The Carole King Musical recently, you know that the playbill does not have the face of the current Carole King, Abby Mueller on it, but rather the face of Chilina Kennedy, who played Carole before Melissa Benoist. I think playbill needs to step up their game and get Abby's face on the playbill. How do ya'll feel about this?

Playbill prints the art that is supplied to them by the production. They can't "step up their game" because it's not their call to make as far as what goes on the cover.

And, to be honest, it doesn't really matter....if you've gotten one, you've already purchased a ticket. I've NEVER heard of anyone say, well, I wasn't interested in seeing this show...until I saw the playbill cover.

The tour uses Jessie on the posters/playbills but the Carole varies in the other promotional material. I’ve seen the current tour Carole (Sara Bockel) and Chilina in some of the fliers we have for the upcoming Philly stop of the tour.
