All Things Beautiful Thread

Did you catch in the video when Melissa leans towards the first and screams “Mom.” For me it was a beautiful moment. No pun intended.

For sure did. Such a great moment for her and her mother, especially with their Carole King history as Mel was growing up. Life can be such a cool thing.

First Look At Beautiful w/ Melissa Benoist

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.

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

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.

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.

Not one to express it but I be feeling some jealousy here Argo.

Thanks, Kelly, for this. My favorite, thus far!

Melissa brought Chris to the Tony Awards. Instead of thier super suits she wore Dior and he put on a tux.

I'm also going to this wed. matinee. Argo, if you get a chance stop by and say hello before the show starts. We will be in Row A, orchestra isle seats. Left of the stage and I will be wearing my superman tee shirt with my blue blazer, so every time Melissa looks my way I can flash her with the house of EL. lol

Well Melissa performed today on Live with Kelly and Ryan. She sang "I Feel the Earth Move." Trying to search for a good copy of it on YouTube.

The attached article has the video. I really enjoyed this from Melissa and she looked pretty as always in her dress.

Well I caught the video...and about half way through the song, Melissa had a slight mic malfunction, but she kept on keeping on...even getting the audience involved.

I wonder what the odds would be of that happening. All I have to do is turn around and say hello. Should be a great afternoon.

It’s Karma! I am really looking forward to it. A friend of mine in the theater business says this role particularly demands a good singer. And Mel fits the bill.

PS I may even tap you on the shoulder

Just read a terrific Twitter thread from @_ashleymaria_ concerning her experience seeing Beautiful. If you have twitter... Go check it out. Things to note, as I suspected... the strings in the piano are removed...

"A little background info from Stacey the stage manager from the stage tour. Got a look at the piano; totally taken apart and modified to be played by the actor with no sound, speakers being attached to it so that the orchestra pit can perform the songs."

Here's the possible concerning part:

"Stacey had also said that she finishes the show on August 4th, has two days off and then returns to Vancouver to film on August 7th. It didn’t sound like she was going to be flying back and forth to film in July? I dunno, at least that’s what it sounded like to me."

What day did someone on here report or hypothesized shooting began, again, for season 4? Probably nothing to worry about--as in, we shouldn't worry about whether or not Melissa will play a "lesser role" first episode of Season 4. Just play more Kara for easier filming lol. Right? Plus, by the looks of it from ending of last episode, Melissa's gonna be doing a LOT next season.

This is my promised report on seeing Melissa play on Broadway.

She was fantastic, even better than we can imagine. She’s got a great future ahead of her. Her singing was outstanding. In fact when she sang”It’s Too Late”, I got goosebumps! When she signed my program. I told her that her singing gave me goosebumps and she smiled and thanked me.

In real life, she is a shrimp. She’s tall, but skinny, small boned. When she’s signing autographs. She doesn’t appear to be that tall. I was at the most 10-15 feet from the stage, and at times, she was really close to my section. I had a great view and the theater is well designed for maximum viewing.

There were plenty of old farts in the audience, aside from Supergirl fans. Her whole performance is sold out through August 4. There are no tickets available.

One of our fellow forum writers was right in front of me. His companion had seen the show when it first came out. She mentioned that Melissa was far better than her predecessor!

I wish they could tape her performance so others might see it on TV. It was that good. And the cast, was absolutely wonderful. The second autograph is her leading man.

Really, this is a woman to watch beyond Supergirl. I suspect that with this performance she will receive far better personal offers during her breaks from Supergirl.

I don't know how they're going to manage it but, with the way they ended the season it would make absolutely no sense for Melissa to not play a major part at the beginning of the season. The whole set-up seems to be centered on there now being two Kara's so, I would think that would mean that we see more of her not less. Who knows but, I'm sure they have a plan.

You can always do "shoot arounds" without Mel being present. Then when she arrives, they will go full bore inboxed filming single scenes. A lot of times what appears to be a conversation is filmed separately. There are enough techniques in which Mel's missing 2 weeks of filming will not affect her performance.

Argo

Thanks, Argo. Oh and also...so excited you got to see Mel on Broadway. Jealous am I. But, loving the detailed experiences and such

Your comments made me think, I wonder if they may have also pre-filmed some of the first few scenes of Season 4, planning for Melissa's absence. Hmmm. I suspect they've already got it all worked out. And as Sully said, there's no real way Kara wouldn't be in Season 4 ep 1.

And knowing she'll be at Comic Con makes me so excited for our Comic Con week in the forum. With all of Eric and Kelsey's behind the scenes and such... Good times on here.

Aaaaaaaawwe! I just love this...

This just gives me the warm fuzzies. So glad she brought the kids to see the show.
