Sara Bareilles Reveals She Is Taking Over Lead Role Of ‘Waitress’ On Broadway | TODAY

So, I bought tickets last night to Waitress before this announcement. I've been following this show for a long time. I had a dream where I went and was so disappointed that I was going to be seeing an understudy. And that understudy turned out to be none other than Sara herself. So, Sara, you LITERALLY made my dream come true. Can't wait!!!!!

Is this bad news? ‘Cause, like, you said you were disappointed.

It’s a privilege to get to see an understudy perform.

Saw it with Jessie and it was magical! I'd love to see Sara as Jenna as well!
