SARA BAREILLES & JESSIE MUELLER

“I grew up in a really small town and my association with Broadway was through regional theater and watching my sister do a production of Evita and getting introduced to, honestly, the scores of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. And my Christmas presents used to be posters of Broadway shows that my mom would put on poster board and so my room was coated in them. Cast albums. Cast recordings and stuff,“ Bareilles told InStyle.

Mueller’s experience was similar: “I grew up in the Midwest. Broadway was like Guys and Dolls, that was Broadway to me, people walking down the street with high heels being like ‘Hey, where’s the game?’ It was Runyonland in my mind. That’s what Broadway was.”
