Also joining the production is Cory Jeacoma (Jersey Boys), who makes his Broadway debut as Gerry Goffin.

Bockel and Jeacoma join a principal Broadway cast that includes Jessica Keenan Wynn as Cynthia Weil, Jacob Heimer as Barry Mann, Paul Anthony Stewart as Don Kirshner and Liz Larsen as Genie Klein.
With a book by Douglas McGrath, direction by Marc Bruni, choreography by Josh Prince and musical supervision by Jason Howland, Beautiful features an array of songs from the catalogue of Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.
As previously announced, Beautiful will conclude its Broadway run on October 27.
