“Supergirl” to Broadway:
To play songwriter Carole King in “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” Melissa Benoist, above, had to learn lines and stage directions. Lyrics, not so much. The actress, star of The CW’s “Supergirl,” has been listening to King since she was a kid; her parents played a steady diet of classics such as “So Far Away” and “It’s Too Late.” She’s in the musical for two months, making her Broadway debut.
