In front of a sell-out performance, King walked on stage during the curtain calls to give the cast and the audience a surprise that they will not forget for a long time.
The award-winning singer was greeted with a standing ovation and she thanked the cast and audience, as only she can, by giving them a wonderful live performance of her classic hit You’ve Got A Friend.
After the show, King said “I was so excited to surprise the cast, they genuinely had no idea, nobody knew!
She also paid a special tribute to Cassidy Janson who plays King in the musical – saying “CJ literally brought me to tears this evening with her performance of ‘Natural Woman’. She was who I was, she felt what I felt. She was me!”
Beautiful – The Carole King Musical is playing at the Aldwych Theatre, London, is now booking right through the summer and Autumn up to 04 November 2017 with a further 130,000 tickets now on sale.
