Maybe a flight to New York to see hometown girl Sara Bareilles’ Broadway run in the musical Waitress wasn’t practical. That’s no reason to put “When She Was Mine” on repeat and cry into a lemon meringue. (Oh, like I’m the only one.) Tonight at 8 p.m., you can catch her live performance as Mary Magdalene to John Legend’s Jesus in the West Coast replay of Jesus Christ Superstar Live.
What better way to digest your Sunday/Easter dinner/Passover leftovers than to hunker down on the couch and listen to Bareilles belt out the vintage (1971), Tony Award-winning Andrew Lloyd Webber tunes? Spoiler: East Coast Twitter says she’s killing it. Get the pie ready just in case.
