    This is a proshot of the stage show, not a movie adaptation, btw. Everyone in it is amazing. Sara Bareilles herself plays the lead

    Love Letter from the Afterlife was the most incredible experience. A film of Andrea Gibson’s last spoken word poetry performance, shown at Red Rocks with musical performances by Sara Bareilles, Chris Peruka, Megan Falley and the Colorado Symphony. We laughed, we cried, we were forever changed.

    Sara Bareilles is my next favorite artist after Taylor. PBS just aired a concert film played with an orchestra for new years and it's so beautiful. It's the same setlist as the show I saw at the hollywood bowl last summer and I love it so so much 🥺💜 Highly recommend if you like her!

    on the Spiral Alice playlist there has been consistently on and off a song by Sara Bareilles called “If I Dare” from the movie Battle of the Sexes which was a biopic (starring Emma Stone as Billie Jean King) covering the famous Battle of the Sexes tennis match where BJK beat Bobby Riggs. 👀

    I did not know “The Waitress” musical (on Hulu) is based on the Adrienne Shelly film (2007) starring Keri Russell. The musical is famous for Sara Bareilles writing “She Used to Be Mine” for it, a miracle of pacing-the-floor, down-on-yourself lyricism that suddenly climbs for its life. 1)

    You need to watch the Sara Bareilles doc if you loved Girls5Eva! It's on Kinema til 9/30, I think, and playing in some theaters. It was not zany & funny like that film - but seeing what she's going through in real life - and then sitting with the music - is amazing!!

    Yes! Waitress (based on the movie w/ Keri Russell, music by Sara Bareilles) is genuinely life-changingly good, and it was filmed with Sara playing the lead! (Reportedly coming to streaming soon.) Newsies (Disney+) is a FANTASTIC time, v high energy and super fun choreography.

    Waitress is incredible; some really gorgeous music by Sara Bareilles; its based on a pretty good indie movie that is -not- a musical, but is practically begging for it in every scene.
