After making a splash as the ferociously popular Heather Chandler in the Off-Broadway musical HEATHERS, Jessica Keenan Wynn is now enjoying her Broadway debut as the legendary pop songwriter Cynthia Weil in BEAUTIFUL: THE Carol King MUSICAL.

Wynn's talent apparently runs in the family, as she's the 5th showbiz generation in a line that includes vaudeville and Broadway star Ed "The Perfect Fool" Wynn (Uncle Albert in the film "Mary Poppins") and Hollywood character actor Keenan Wynn, who brushed up his Shakespeare in the film version of KISS ME, KATE.

Charitybuzz's new auction offers a chance for two people to meet Jessica Keenan Wynn after taking in her BEAUTIFUL performance.

The winning bid will benefit The Education Renaissance of Nevada, a non-profit organization that creates live events-concerts, lectures, classes, seminars, performances-that stimulate young people in Northern Nevada to see literature, math, art, science, music and critical thought as viable and exciting disciplines to pursue.

Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia WeilandBarry Mann, to BECOMING one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
