The musical WAITRESS emerged from the 2016 Broadway season (supposedly dominated by HAMILTON) as something similar to its protagonist's famous pies: a hit on the outside thanks to secret ingredients on the inside. One of those ingredients happens to be this week's guest, Tony-winning actress Jessie Mueller (BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL, CAROUSEL, ON A CLEAR DAY...) Listen as Jessie revisits one of her most iconic stage roles and discusses the power of baking, human stories, and, of course, Sara Bareilles.
