‘Waitress’ Sara Bareilles Talks Love of Musical Theater Before Broadway Opening

The musical adaptation of the 2007 film 'Waitress' is gearing up for its big Broadway debut this spring. There is a lot of buzz around Waitress for many reasons but one of the big ones is that the music and lyrics are written by five time Grammy Award nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. Bareilles is perhaps best known for writing a song about not writing someone a “Love Song.” Many people might not know that Sara Bareilles is a lifelong fan of musical theater and performed in community theater productions of 'Charlotte’s Web' and 'Little Shop of Horrors.] From Skid Row to the Great White Way, Sara has had quite the journey.

  • ‘Hamilton’ Producers Warn Fans Against Scalped & Faked Tickets: New Block Coming on Sale Soon

    Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new musical 'Hamilton' is perhaps the best reviewed new show running on Broadway today. However, despite how much you want to see the show, the Richard Rodgers Theater can only hold so many people at once and the cast would literally die of exhaustion trying to fulfill the demands of the public if they ran more shows. Even talk show host Stephen Colbert couldn’t get hand on a measly 400 tickets. In all seriousness the show’s producers are reaching out to fans to not buy scalped and possibly fake tickets, and promising to that are releasing a new block of tickets soon.
