    “Nick was an incredibly vibrant and fun-loving guy,” Toohey tells People. “He loved music and loved performing. He also loved hanging ‘as one of us’ in the band room at Waitress and would talk about his band and guitars.”
    She added, “The entire cast and crew loved him dearly and he brought an incredible positive light to any experience he was part of.”
    “Getting to sing on Meg Toohey’s gorgeous tribute to our friend Nick was a gift,” adds Bareilles. “I wept as I sang. This song is cathartic… beautiful and bittersweet and speaks of the pain of love and loss and the gently universal truth that we must hold it all lightly and enjoy our lucky streaks; these perfectly imperfect lives. What a song.”
    The pair, who wrote “Waitress”, were accompanied by the band players from the musical including Nadia Digiallonardo, Rich Mercurio, Lee Nadel, Yair Evnine, and Adam Kaufmann.
    “Lucky Streak” is available to stream and download now.

      During a chat on ‘Pop Shop Podcast’, the ‘Waitress’ star has also spilled on how she’s been keeping herself entertained during the lockdown caused by the novel coronavirus.
      Sep 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sara Bareilles has no doubt that Broadway will survive the COVID-19 pandemic.
      As the coronavirus swept the world, shows in New York were shuttered – while productions in London’s West End and elsewhere around the globe were also shut down.
      There has been numerous questions about whether or not the theater world will survive throughout the pandemic, but “Waitress” star Sara told Billboard’s “Pop Shop Podcast” that it’s just a case of when they can reopen.
      “Man, it is just a staggering blow to this community that is so vital, I mean, to New York City,” Sara said of the pandemic’s effect on Broadway. “But I also think about friends in London, you know, in the West End, that’s another community that’s just devastated by this.”

      “I have no doubt in my mind that it will come back. There’s not even a question mark to me about whether or not the theatre community will revitalize and find a new life. To me, it’s a question of when.”
      As for how she’s been keeping herself entertained during the pandemic and the lockdown, Sara revealed she and her boyfriend, former “Waitress” co-star Joe Tippett, have been binging on superhero and fantasy movies.

      “I think it was kind of one of those things where you’re like, ‘OK, we’re in in a pandemic, we’re in a lockdown. We’re gonna spend a lot of time indoors. Let’s go through…’ We did the ‘Harry Potter’ movies. Then we got onto the Marvel movies. And we did ‘The Lord of the Rings’ movies. We did a lot of fantasy. That’s been really soothing in a weird way,” she smiled.

      The new show executive produced by the ‘Waitress’ star along with J.J. Abrams and her Broadway collaborator is expected to debut on streaming platform this coming summer.
      May 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Singer/songwriter-turned-Broadway star Sara Bareilles’ new TV series has been picked up by bosses at Apple TV+.
      “Little Voice”, the show Sara helped create with J.J. Abrams, will premiere on the streaming service in July 2020.
      The series stars Brittany O’Grady as a talented performer struggling to follow her dreams in New York City.
      Sara wrote the original music for the series, which features a pilot episode written and directed by Jessie Nelson, her collaborator on the Broadway musical “Waitress”.
      Bareilles and Nelson executive produced the series with Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions partner Ben Stephenson.
      The news comes at a good time for Sara, who recently revealed she had tested positive for COVID-19 but had battled the virus and won.
      The Grammy winner posted a video on her Instagram Stories on April 2, 2020 while out and about in New York City and updated fans on her condition.
      “Just wanted to check in,” she stated. “I’m really quiet right now and will probably continue to be quiet. Just sort of taking all of this in and having a lot of feelings as I do. I had it (COVID-19), just so you know. I’m fully recovered, just so you know. I am just thinking about all of the people who are walking through this really tricky time and sending a lot of love and just being really grateful for every easy breath and every day that I get to be walking around. Lots of love you guys. Take care of yourselves.”
      Sara didn’t add any details but she most likely contracted the virus while starring in the West End production of her musical “Waitress” – her co-star Gavin Creel also believes he contracted the virus but opted to self-isolate and not get tested. Several other cast members from the show did test positive, according to reports.
