AceShowbiz - Two more stars of the Carole King musical, "Beautiful", have been forced to quit after falling pregnant.
Kara Lindsay, the actress who plays songwriter Cynthia Weil in the show, and her understudy, Stephanie Martignetti, are leaving because they're expecting, becoming the second and third actresses to get pregnant while playing the role of Weil - Anika Larsen also got pregnant during her run as the real-life character.
Producers have turned the coincidences into a running joke behind the scenes of the show.
A production source told Page Six, "When Jessica Keenan Wynn, who's taking over the role of Weil, got to her dressing room for her first performance at the Sondheim Theatre, she found a gift-wrapped box of condoms and a note from the two mothers-to-be wishing her a great run in the show."
