to close after almost four years. THR talks with the singer-songwriter and Tony-nominated composer about the experience
This is just the absolute coolest piece of news to our little heart shaped show. thank you to all our patrons over the years... we are humbled to still be serving you. Wow. Wow. wow. xo
I began my relationship with depression just after college. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but it's called disassociation: where my thoughts were louder than everything else, and i felt outside my body. I was terrified and felt alone and the idea of staying in the world
It is utterly understandable if you feel overwhelmed and angry and claustrophobic under the pressures of this next wave of covid and the holiday season. It's okay to just kind of not be okay right now. Hang in there. You are trying so hard. Be gentle and remember to slow down. xo
I know it's scary. I love you. Be patient with yourself and each other. We will get through this. We are all connected and we are going to keep putting one foot in front of the other, (but not next to each other for right now... social distancing:) My heart is holding you now. xo
This is a gut punch of the highest degree. Thank you for everything. This cast. This company. This community. May we all be so lucky. Forever I love you. ❤️
hi
@Lin_Manuel
. You do such good in the world. You are a lighthouse and a leader and a passionate advocate for the heart-full life. Yay you were born. Aren't we lucky. Happy birthday my friend. x
Once more for the people in the back: WOMEN DON’T GET PREGNANT BY THEMSELVES! Why is there zero sense of shared responsibility?! It’s pathetic, and I stand with the masses of you who are enraged and want to fight back. Hand me my armor.

I will have to tend to this relationship with depression and anxiety for the rest of my life. I am gutted to see people take their own lives because it means they feel alone and hopeless. But things can change. You are not alone. Hope is mercurial too. Keep seeking it.

everyone has been so deeply kind about the closing of
@WaitressMusical
and I just feel so very lucky and so very seen and so very proud. Just another little thank you.
Just arrived home and will immediately self quarantine. This is so serious and for my lovelies out there who want to hang on to normalcy a little bit longer, please stay home and make a new normal for a while. We have to help slow this down. Please. Stay home. Love you.❤️
It's normal to be crying alone thinking about my
@WaitressMusical
family saying goodbye to our company members today, right? I've never experienced anything like a theater family. It's heartbreaking and holy. I am so lucky to be in tears because of loving people. Happy trails. xo
was almost too much to bear. I was encouraged by friends and I got help, and I have been in therapy for 10 years. It's part of my self care. I am not ashamed, I am a proud believer in the benefits of learning to understand our own darkness. I have learned enough to know that

Oh my god Sara I’m so sorry for your mentions today, my fault.
(But if you wanna make a Hamildrop, whatever you want. You already know.)
This show that changed my life opened 3 years ago today. I will forever be thankful. It really IS amazing what baking can do. Happy 3rd birthday to our sweet

Today I’m celebrating the 10 year anniversary of a labor of love of mine. Kaleidoscope Heart was released ten years ago today... here’s a little look back on the making of that record. I look like a baby! Thank you for all the love over the years. 💖
I am marveling at the incredible hard work of everyone involved with
@JCSTheMusical
. Hundreds of people working together to make last night happen all high fives and smiling backstage as we leapt off a giant cliff together. It was exhilarating and I feel privileged.
Art of Broadway on insta just donated this piece of art for me to auction to raise money for BCEFA. Does anyone know
@SaraBareilles
so I can get it signed and raise even more money?
Day one of 2018. Changed out of my pajamas to change into other pajamas. Rearranged a shelf for 4 hours. Sang along to my radiator clicks. Moved a rug from my bedroom into my living room. It's going to be a good year.
I weep for this country. For that boy taught hateful things. For the victims and their families. For the system that protects the wrong people. For weapons that spread like the virus they are, infecting, poisoning, killing. For the message this moment sends. No Justice. None.
I wrote LITTLE VOICE when I was 24 years old and it has been sitting as a “demo” ever since. I’m so proud to see it as the theme to a new show about finding your voice! Made with love ❤️
FIRST LOOK!!! My new record, AMIDST THE CHAOS, will be available for pre-order FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH (!!!), and we have much more in store for you this week...stay tuned....
Today reminds us that progress might be slow. It might take decades. But no matter what things might look like today, it’s always possible. Happy Pride month, everybody.
For the first time this season, our Kid Captain's will each get to decide which song is playing during the Hawkeye Wave. For week one, Eli Belser, has chosen the song "Brave" by Sara Bareilles. Great choice, Eli!
God bless you teachers. You are so important. And the parents dealing with this next hard moment with schooling. Oof. The incredible Health Care workers. You must be DONE. The stress and burnout is so big. I can't even imagine. I love you I love you I love you. You can do this.
Well,
@QueerEye
you already know how wonderful you are but I just love your kindness and heart in your work. your generosity brings out the best in people and oh my gosh I just am moved to tears. thank you for the smiles.
I just cried at a total stranger for being unkind. Through an awkward conversation I said, “I’m just trying to have a human moment. You were mean for no reason.” And then he apologized. It was amazing. I cried so much I had to leave the train but I think it was positive? Hmmm

To all my sisters and all our friends… you make me stronger.
Now hand me my armor.

Talked to my loving and very reasonable mom. No Christmas travel this year. No thanksgiving travel. We are all on the same page. I really hope you make the hard decisions too so we can get through this giant nightmare hellscape. Is that a word? Bye.
I’m prepared to sign a COVID relief package on day one, but I need
