The cast of the Carole King musical on Broadway is getting a super addition.
The Associated Press reports that "Supergirl" star Melissa Benoist will make her Broadway debut this summer when she steps into the title character of "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical".
Benoist, who was on "Glee" and the miniseries "Waco," starts June 7th for a run through August 4th.
"Beautiful" focuses on King's early years, when she was writing songs with her former husband, Gerry Goffin, and competing with their friendly rivals, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann.
The musical has performances of classics such as "You've Got a Friend," "One Fine Day," "So Far Away," "Take Good Care of My Baby," "Up on the Roof," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," and "Natural Woman."
