Carole King<\/a> made a surprise appearance at the fifth anniversary performance of Beautiful<\/em>, the Broadway musical featuring King\u2019s songs, to deliver a piano rendition of the show\u2019s closing number \u201cBeautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The musical\u2019s closing scene revolves around King\u2019s famed 1971 Carnegie Hall concert, with actress Chilina Kennedy portraying King in the production. However, on Saturday night, King herself sat down at the piano to perform \u201cBeautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unannounced appearance marked the first time that King had appeared in the musical during Beautiful<\/em>\u2018s five-year run at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. King remained onstage during the curtain call and the ensemble rendition of her \u201cI Feel the Earth Move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the performance, King addressed the audience. \u201cWhat a night! It was amazing to be a part of this. This musical has been such a magical experience. To be here and celebrate our fifth anniversary with so much joy and love is amazing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone connected with this show will agree that the people we have to thank the most are you, the audiences; please give yourselves a hand. It\u2019s thanks to you, you who have come once \u2026 twice, three times. I hear from people who\u2019ve brought friends, family and shared the joy and shared the love, and it\u2019s amazing. So if you keep doing that, you never know when I might show up again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beautiful<\/em> opened on Broadway on January 13th, 2014<\/a>; the musical went on to win a Tony Award (and earn seven nominations<\/a>), a Grammy and, for its touring production, an Olivier Award in the U.K.<\/p>\n

King told the Associated Press<\/em><\/a> in an interview, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of miraculous that this show has lasted for five years because not many do. And it\u2019s a testament to, I think, people say the music \u2026 but the book is so good and the direction and the lighting and the sets. It\u2019s really a well put together production.\u201d<\/p>\n
