@littlewolfbird I watched the first video recording I found online with Melissa Benoist, and I thought she was alright but probably someone else could've done more with the role. Despite the thin script though, I really did enjoy it as a showcase of Carole's work and the music of the time. And I thought it was cute how the Cynthia/Barry relationship played as a narrative foil to Carole and Gerry. (Naturally my little RPF brain started imagining them as a polycule lol)
Now I'm watching the Carole King musical and I've decided I think she and Cynthia Weil should've lezzed out
#unrelated to the show but I've found out that carole actually did collaborate with another woman lyricist for several songs#a poet called toni stern! such songs as it's too late and where you lead etc.#also I've gotten a kick out of all the comparisons between goffin/king and lennon/mccartney. it's very real#something about carole talking with paul about gerry's tortured artist complex and paul being like 'oh yeah john was the exact same way.'
