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.

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.

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".....

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.

RATS! Got beaten to it. I did catch a little bit of it. The part that made me laugh was the discovery of the word "Supergirling" LOL!!!!! I've heard of fangirling and fanboying...but never that.

AND THAT LAUGH! But this was your typical light fare that is entertainment news, even on WPIX channel 11, whose building as we all know was used as the Daily Planet in the Superman movies...at least when the NY Daily News was at that building at 220 E. 42nd in NYC which also calls itself PIX Plaza.

And not just any song, but So Far Away, one of the many hits to come from Carole King's landmark 1971 album "Tapestry." The album won 4 Grammy Awards in 1972...


Album of the Year

"It's Too Late" won for Record of the Year

"You've Got a Friend" was Song of the Year

Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.


In 1995, Rod Stewart did a cover version of So Far Away on a tribute album "Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King."

Oopss...my bad, RobertAnthony,on the PIX11.

Also, anybody else notice, Melissa's nnnoottttt aaactually playing the piano
