Michelle Williams had not one but TWO queens (and a bonus queen mom) cheering her on as she slayed her Broadway debut in Death Becomes Her on Thursday night (November 21) in NYC. Yes, you read that right—there was a low-key Destiny’s Child reunion in the Big Apple, and no, we were not emotionally prepared for this level of iconic.
Beyoncé (yes, THE Beyoncé, bow down) and Kelly Rowland were spotted sitting next to each other in the audience, likely giving Michelle all the love, sass, and harmonies she needed to shine on stage as Viola Van Horn. And while Queen Bey decided to let the spotlight stay on Michelle by skipping the red carpet (humble royalty move, 10/10), a sneaky audience snap of her casually supporting her girl is making rounds online. Beyoncé: the legend, the phantom of the opera, the audience MVP.
Kelly didn’t roll solo either—her hubby Tim Weatherspoon was there to show some love, and we assume he was also tasked with the very important job of snapping Instagram-worthy moments. Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, was clearly having the time of her life. She strutted the red carpet like it was her own personal catwalk, then hopped online to gush about Michelle with a comment dripping in heart emojis:
“The play was fantastic !!!!!!!! You killed it My Belle ❤️❤️❤️ so proud of you ❤️❤️❤️.”
Honestly, when Tina Knowles praises you, you’ve officially made it.
If you’re still breathing after this avalanche of fabulousness, consider yourself blessed. Destiny’s Child may not have performed together last night, but the way they showed up for Michelle is proof that true friendship is the greatest reunion tour of all. Plus, now we’re dreaming of a Broadway musical starring all three of them. Someone make that happen, stat!
