Jessica Biel makes musical theater debut - includes video

Jessica 'I'm too beautiful' Biel made her singing debut in a three-night performance in a concert version of 'Guys at Dolls' at the Hollywood Bowl in LA this weekend. The Los Angeles Times gave the show, and Biel, high praise, saying that she was 'glowing with an untrammeled radiance' and calling her duet with Brian Stokes Mitchell 'lovely.' Commenters on the LA Times‘ site who saw the show said that it was a lot of fun and that Biel did a great job. Radar Online even reports that Biel got a standing ovation, lead by her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake:

Jessica Biel wowed the audience with her singing chops Friday night at the opening of Guys and Dolls and her boyfriend Justin Timberlake was there to cheer her on.

It was a bit of role reversal for the sexy couple with Jessica doing the singing and grabbing the spotlight. RadarOnline.com spotted Justin arriving five minutes before the show started and sitting in a box with three friends at the Hollywood Bowl. He watched Jessica sing the lead role of Mission Leader Sarah Brown on stage.

Justin was an enthusiastic boyfriend - he led the standing ovation at the end of the show and spent an hour backstage with Jessica after her performance.

Bringing not only sexy back but also chivalry, Justin drove his leading lady home after her performance. Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Justin will be at the rest of Jessica's performances this weekend.

Biel told reporters that she loved working on the musical as it terrified yet challenged her, and that she would be thrilled do a stint on Broadway. Biel hasn't put out many hit movies recently, and her last film, Powder Blue, got panned and went straight to DVD. She has a lot of films in development, though, according to IMDB. Things might turn around for Biel's film career, or she could easily get more theater work. There are undoubtedly plenty of productions that would be thrilled to have her despite her lack of experience on stage.
