| She was a major character in "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" - the show devoted much of its time to her story. And of course it featured many of the classic songs she and Barry Mann wrote together - "On Broadway," "He's Sure the Boy I Love," "Walking in the Rain," "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," etc. She's survived by Barry Mann, her husband of 62 years. |

| Oh no!!She also wrote the score to MASK (with Barry of course), a score worth hearing on Broadway IMO. Writing for Broadway was her original dream. She was a protege of Frank Loesser. I had the pleasure of working with her on several workshops of MASK. She was wonderful to work with. This is awful news. Fuck. | |

| KingSpeed, what an honor it must've been to work with Weil and Mann on ''Mask.'' Are there any samples of their songs from it on YouTube, etc.? I Googled and found a story about a production of ''Mask'' at the Pasadena Playhouse in 2008. Did it have any kind of life after that? (Nowadays, if someone heard about a musical called ''Mask,'' he might assume it's a stage version of the 1994 Jim Carrey comedy.) |

| It was awesome, I played Rocky so I worked closely with them. There is an awesome demo but it’s not on YT. However, I recorded one of the songs and here it is. | |
