All Things Beautiful Thread

Another Glee-Union. The host of the event Alex Newell was Melissa's castmate on Glee. Here's a couple of videos of them together.



I've posted this one before but it's a classic and shows Melissa will do great in her Broadway debut next week.


Hopefully all the performers have fun.

I did a Youtube search for last year's event. And, sure enough, there are lots of videos. So, looks like we all may get to see clips of her performance June 1st.

First Look At Beautiful w/ Melissa Benoist

Or been wondering, Kiwi, if it's actually been a crash course in learning the piano.

I love Carole King so I am very interested in seeing how Melissa does with her songs. Based on what I have heard from her through Glee and other performances, I think she will be a good fit for both the character and the voice.

If this turns out well for her, I could easily see her go onto Broadway full time after Supergirl ends.

Assuming she's performing a selection from "Beautiful"? Does it GET any better, y'all? Woot woot

Melissa to Perform on Live with Kelly and Ryan

Melissa to Perform on Live with Kelly and Ryan

Methinks your assumption will be proven correct. This will also be her third appearance on "Live" Her first was in 2015 with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan; her second was with Kelly and guest co-host Anderson Cooper in 2017, where she did the Wonder Woman spin.

I have liked Carole King since the Beatles recorded a couple of her songs, I loved Tapestry, the best album by a female singer/songwriter ever! Now add Melissa to the mix, and I have to thank Rao.

My only grumble is that the production is across the Atlantic! But very interested to hear from anyone who is lucky enough to attend.

I assume the chance of any recordings being issued are slim (the original cast version of Beautiful is available, but nothing since that I can find).

It could happen. Theaters are equipped to record. Many Broadway show recordings are simply recordings of live shows and not studio recordings. For Duet I’m pretty sure the sound track released was live versus studio recordings with the addition of a second version of running home to you that Grant did in a studio.

From what I can see, Melissa only did the intro at Stars in the Alley, and didn't actually sing.

I saw a picture on Twitter that someone took of the performers, and it appeared Melissa was slated to perform a song, but they must have had to make a last minute switch.

I believe she plays, not sure how experienced, but I know her character played the piano on Glee.

I'm SURE Kelly will ask next Monday.....I can't see how that question WON'T come up.

To me, still one of the best videos that shows just how strong a voice she actually has....and stood toe to toe with Miss "I'm Going To Broadway".....

And it's a Billy Joel song no less...and one that doesn't get as much airplay as "Piano Man" or "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me." Well, at least here in the NYC area it did.

As one would expect...Melissa Benoist will be interviewed on WPIX's PIX 11 Morning News, which airs from 4:30 to 9:00AM EST. She will be interviewed by the station's entertainment reporter Ojinika Obiekwe. Expect a talk about Beautiful and Supergirl to come up perhaps. And when the interview becomes available on social media, I hope to let you know.

Speaking of WPIX, this month is VERY special...it was on the 15th of this month 70 years ago, when WPIX, whose call letters are a variation on the word Picture (as in the motto of the NY Daily News, New York's PICTURE Newspaper), signed on the air.

And on the 15th and 16th some special programming will air. In promoting a one hour lookat WPIX's history (which is NEVER enough for me), PIX11 said...

PIX11 Celebrating 70 Years will look back at PIX11 from 1948 through today and relive some of the station’s most memorable broadcast moments. From the NY Giants to the Yankees to the Mets…from Cap’n Jack McCarthy to Officer Joe Bolton to Bozo the Clown…from Dawson to Buffy to Supergirl… From the PIX PIX PIX game* to the “Yule Log,” “PIX11 Celebrating 70 Years” will track the station’s growth from a small independent station to the powerhouse it is today.

Bold--Yup, she gets mentioned in the PIX pantheon of names that have been on WPIX since 1948. Matter of fact, WPIX’s first live broadcast began at 7:30pm on June 15, 1948 and ran 5 hours, 41 minutes. The star-studded gala inaugural featured Gloria Swanson, Ed Sullivan and Arthur Godfrey.

*That game was called TVPIXX, which in the early 80's had Intellvision or Atari like graphics for the games. To get the game going, kids had to shout into their phone "PIX!" Their score determined their prize. To qualify, kids had to identify the PIXX Pal of the day, one of the many characters who were on channel 11's broadcast lineup when asked to call in. The characters ranged at that time from Tom and Jerry to The Odd Couple. For the record, I did not participate in the game, but have been a channel 11 viewer for many years including the pre-CW and WB days.

Well, I will be seeing Mel on Broadway next week and I am excited. I like Carole King's music and with Mel's talent I expect to not be disappointed.
