Stage favorite Jessica Keenan Wynn (Heathers) returns to the Broadway company of Beautiful–The Carole King Musical January 4. She once again steps into the role of songwriter Cynthia Weil; she succeeds Kara Lindsay.
Wynn temporarily left the production in September to film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. She plays young Tanya (Christine Baranski's character) in the musical sequel, to be released in July.
Chilina Kennedy, Broadway’s longest-running Carole King, stars in the title role at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. The current cast also includes Ben Jacoby as Barry Mann and Evan Todd as Gerry Goffin.
With a book by Tony and Academy Award nominee Douglas McGrath, direction by Marc Bruni, and choreography by Josh Prince, Beautiful features songs from the Goffin/King and Mann/Weil catalogs.
