Rowland was joined by husband Tim Weatherspoon. The new show features Michelle Williams as Viola Van Horn, reuniting the former Destiny’s Child members for the night.

Rowland and Knowles walked the red carpet ahead of the show and were joined later by Beyoncé. The Renaissance star could be seen in the audience in a fan photo wearing an off-white trucker hat and pale gray coat for an incognito look. She had her blonde hair down in casual waves and could be seen smiling in delight at the show.

On Saturday, Beyoncé shared a montage of pictures and videos on Instagram from the evening, revealing her full look, which included a charcoal gray knit top and matching shorts.

On her feet, she wore a pair of knee-high leather boots. For accessories, she had on silver statement rings and a pair of black-framed glasses.

In some clips, Beyoncé, Rowland, and Williams could be seen laughing together as they celebrated, and the star flaunted her Playbill. She shared clips of Williams taking a bow and photos of the show’s advertising featuring her close friend.

Williams posted about the show as well, and Knowles commented, “The Play was fantastic !!!!!!!!’nn you killed it My Belle ❤️❤️❤️so proud of you ❤️❤️❤️.”
