Sara Bareilles' album released today: What's Inside - Songs from Waitress — Page 2

When this album was released I didn't listen to it much, but the last few days I've been listening to it a lot and these songs are really growing on me. You Matter to Me, Opening Up, Everything Changes, Bad Idea and She Used to Be Mine are all becoming among my favorite Sara Bareilles songs (and I'm a huge fan of her and her work). I hope a cast album is released, I can't wait to hear Jessie Mueller singing the songs (as well as the songs from the show that weren't on the album)

Opening Up is my favorite! Really enjoying the whole thing.

I think She Used To Be Mine will go down as a favorite for musical theater covers, it has so much emotion and amazing singing in it. It's essentially pop with a lot of theater and story in it.

I hope Sara Bareilles writes more musicals! I love the album and all the videos of the cast singing the songs, and she probably would have won Best Score (if not for Hamilton), so I hope this isn't the last Broadway sees of her and her music!

I agree that it probably could have won her a Tony in a different season (perhaps next season). I hope she releases sheet music for Waitress, I have all of her albums' sheet books and each one has very accurate piano transcriptions (except for Blessed Unrest, which is very unfortunate). I have SUTBM but I want more of the score to play and sing.

Well, the men in the movie are jerks, too. That's kinda the point.

The PC term for feminism may be something like "gender equality."

I love musicals that feature strong, independent women. It's part of the reason I love shows like Beautiful and Violet. I would call Wicked a feminist musical, and I know many men who love it. I'm thrilled to see an all-female creative team behind Waitress, and I think it's a solid, powerful show. I just disliked several of the key male characters, and I thought they were thinly drawn. I saw the film a while ago, but it didn't bother me as much - perhaps there's something about the jerks all having big musical numbers that made it worse. I would like to see the show loved by women and men alike, and I hope it's a huge hit.
