When asked if she would consider composing another musical after the success of Waitress, Bareilles revealed that "something" is in the works.

She said that something that is not yet ready to be announced, but there is something,

Bareilles shared this exciting news at the BroadwayWorld exclusively during the premiere.

Bareilles made her Broadway debut when she composed music and wrote lyrics for the 2015 musical Waitress, for which she received Tony Award and Grammy Award nominations for Best Original Score and Best Musical Theatre Album, respectively.

She subsequently received Olivier Award nominations for the production's West End transfer in 2021. In 2022, she returned to Broadway in a revival of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods as The Baker's Wife. Her acclaimed performance earned her a nomination for a Tony Award.

In 2018, Bareilles' portrayal of Mary Magdalene in the NBC musical television special Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert garnered critical acclaim. She was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards for co-hosting the 72nd Tony Awards alongside Josh Groban in 2018. She currently portrays Dawn Solano in Peacock's musical comedy Girls5Eva, the third season of which will debut on Netflix.

Sara Bareilles New Music Coming Too?

There's no news if Bareilles will release some new pop songs too - although last time we heard she has already fully transitioned to a broadway personality.

Bareilles, who is 43 years old, will undoubtedly continue to be a unique type of split celebrity. Pop listeners who are now in their thirties will continue to recognize her as the singer-songwriter of two massive successes, "Love Song" from 2007 and "Brave" from 2013. She will always be remembered as the slightly melancholy girl with long brown hair who spawned earworms from her piano singing how she won't write a love song just because the guy needs to hear one.

During those years, Bareilles was frequently compared to Taylor Swift, another singer-songwriter with a similar message for the mass market: that sensitive young women were no longer dupe material. "Love Song" and "Brave" were both certified triple platinum.

During a video interview at the time of "Love Song" with the London Daily Mirror, the interviewer inquired about the singer's musical approach. "Piano-based pop soul, I guess," Bareilles replied in a voice so soft that one must lean in to hear her. Her chestnut hair was braided, and she was wearing a floral-patterned shirt. She was 28 years old but appeared much younger.
