Who will play Carole King in the upcoming "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical?" i hope it's a name like Lea Michelle.

Lady Gaga would be a good choice too-she idolizes Carole as does virtually every singer/songwriter performer out there.

Not a name, but Lauren Molina would be groovy

But I'm guessing they need a good piano player, not a cellist.

Who did the reading?

Lauren Molina is who I've said should play the role from the beginning. I wonder if maybe she plays piano (lots of people who play one instrument learned on piano first-I am not a professional musician, however, I did study piano before moving on to other instruments).

They are waiting to announce it, but Neil Patrick Harris will be playing Carole.

she's not well known, but Kate Ferber. She's awesome and has done a woman woman show about Laura Nyro.

I remember reading somewhere on here that Patti Murin did (or is doing?) a reading.

haha, I was going to say Lady Gaga, of course, as a joke, but someone posted it seriously. oops

She can play the piano who starts the duet of You've Got a Friend, when Carole has writer's block and feels like her magic is gone, leaving her alone with her inadequacy.

I know Debbie Shapiro Gravitte was attached at one point.

Cassie Levy seems like a good choice to me.

I'd like to see an actress of color in the role.

Jordan, I'm thinking Whoopi.

Really? I was thinking more of a Kardashian.

Oh, of course! What must I have been thinking?
