Jessie Mueller and Jake Epstein, stars of Broadway's BEAUTIFUL - THE Carole King MUSICAL, recently posed for a new Vanity Fair piece, highlighting the journey of bringing the life of King to the Great White Way - check out the photo below!
In the brief article, book writer Douglas McGrath also opens up about the collaboration between King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil for the production.
"They each sat down and let me interview them individually, at the most satisfying and thrilling length," McGrath told Vanity Fair. "It was like seeing a painting you love and being able to pick up the phone and call the artist and say, 'Blue. Really? Why'd you do that?' It's one of the most fun, most miraculous parts of this whole process."
