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.

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!

neutral · AI labelView post →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)

neutral · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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.
