Watching this just 2 weeks after I saw Sara perform as Jenna in NY! It was perfect. Her acting doesn't need any help, and her voice is just divine

Sara’s music that she wrote for Waitress is simply beautiful! I’m seeing the national tour this afternoon.

Congrats Sara. You can be my waitress anytime.

It always annoys me when people refer to her as a Pop Star. She is so much more than that.

I really wanna date Sara. If she's out there reading this..
