Sara Bareilles Will Release Waitress Concept Album Before Broadway

This is great news for all those who couldn't get to the American Repertory Theater to check out what the Broadway-bound Waitress was serving up! Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, who wrote the score for the tuner, will release a concept album entitled What's Inside: Songs From Waitress. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the record will drop this fall, with the first single, "“She Used to Be Mine,” available via digital retailers on September 25.

Waitress will complete its run in Boston on September 27 and is scheduled to begin previews on the Great White Way in March 2016, officially opening at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in April. Based on the 2007 film by the late Adrienne Shelly, Waitress follows Jenna, a pregnant waitress in the south trapped in an abusive marriage and looking for a happy ending. She finds relief—and potentially that happy ending—by making creatively titled pies and forming a romance with an unlikely newcomer.

We're still waiting for official casting for the Broadway engagement; the ART production stars Tony winner Jessie Mueller, along with Keala Settle, Jeanna de Waal, Eric Anderson, Joe Tippett and Drew Gehling.
