All Things Beautiful Thread

I am seeing her perform At the Wednesday matinee. I was told by the box office that Mel will perform every show. So there should be no understudies!

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

I’ll be directly behind you in row B aisle seat, left of stage. I’ll be wearing a blue denim collar less shirt. I hope that you’re not too tall so I can’t see Melissa..

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

Argo

I saw muckle9999 at today’s performance and tapped him on the shoulder as promised. I will hand in a review later with pictures. Just let me say that Melissa gave me goosebumps when she sang “It’s Too Late.” She is one heck of a fine actress and singer. I was no more than 10-15 away from her. Live theater is unforgiving and Melissa knocked it out of the ballpark! All her performances through August 4th are sold out.

Argo

Just got home from seeing Melissa on Broadway. Front row aisle seats and no more then 6 feet from the stage. Argo was right behind me and we had a nice conversation about our girl. Melissa hit a home run with all the songs that she sang. Plus we all know how great of an actress she is and she displayed her acting skills as well.
She spent a lot of time on our side of the stage and I did get a chance to flash her with the house of EL tee shirt. She smiled. After the show Argo and I and my lady friends went to the stage door with hopes of seeing her and getting her autograph which we did. She is more pretty in person and her smile is amazing. I told her that she is a very talented young lady and her and Chris are the Hepburn and Tracy of TV. Well, she was wowed and had a smile from ear to ear. She is a real sweetheart. Great time!

Melissa did another interview recently, or perhaps today. She spoke to WNBC-TV's New York Live, a lifestyle show which airs at 11:30 AM EST after News 4 NY at 11:00.

EDIT: I should've mentioned that Melissa has been to two Plazas...PIX Plaza, which is the nickname for WPIX's studios at 220 East 42nd Street, and 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the legendary home to NBC, and WNBC-TV channel 4

I have no shame in admitting that I am ABSURDLY jealous of you both. If I could afford a trip to NYC, this Summer, I'd definitely hit up a show.

I noticed on the Beautiful webpage that Melissa will not be doing the play on July 21 and 22, which is the weekend of San Diego Comic Con. Very much doubt that is a coincidence.

Wooowhooo!! I was bummed at the thought of possibly having yet another ComicCon without Chyler and Melissa there at the same time. I would imagine we may have Jesse there, too, now that he's been but up to a regular.

I couldn't imagine them not having her come to SDCC, but it wasn't looking like it was going to happen. I figure SDCC is in their contracts so....unless you have a family emergency like Chyler did last year, you are there. I'm glad it isn't too much of a turn around for her so that she will have Monday to get over the jet lag.

Yah, even Greg Berlanti doesn’t have the power to allow her to skip SDCC.

Well, look like the man from Rye, NY (a town near me) has pulled some strings. Brilliant, Berlanti! Now the whole gang can come...well less Jeremy given his downgrade, but Jesse given his upgrade. I wouldn't be shocked if the host of the Supergirl panel utters the words Broadway Star. Last year of course Chyler's father-in-law passed on forcing her to miss SDCC 2017.

Here's Mel's 23 minute AOL Build series interview. It's fantastic, and answered just about everything I've been wondering about her Beautiful journey.

Edit: There's even a Melissa/Chyler question

Build Series

Just read on Twitter that a fan attending Beautiful yesterday saw Chyler at yesterday's matinee. Yay!! Was hoping she'd get to support Melissa. Hoping to hear of other cast members going.

Awesome, I hope she and Nathan brought the kids to see "auntie" Melissa on stage. From what I understand the show is appropriate for the ages of their kids.

LOL Mr. Broadway Jeremy better show up.

What I really want is for Carole King herself to surprise her at the end of a performance. Even better if Melissa's mom, who is a huge Carole King fan, is there at the same time.

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.
