How was it!? 🙂
If you’ve seen someone else as Jenna, where does she rank?
Not sure if already posted but it appears that Sugarland front woman Jennifer Nettles will take over the starring role in Waitress October 19 through November 24 .
*Please note Jennifer Nettles will not appear in the show from November 1 to November 6.
Sarah opened for Sugarland during their 2011 tour. Here is a video of Jennifer and Sarah performing "Come on Eileen" during that tour:

I'm looking for any titles from SMB (Sacred & Profane; Hallelujah) or JNB (Gravity: Drag Me Down; Story of Your Bones; Rewind). Hoping someone has some copies they will part with!

“I think it’s fantastic. She’s had the success she’s had in order to be the voice that she is. Unfortunately for her, the brighter the spotlight the bigger the target. She means big money to people. When art is pitted up against commerce, there’s a lot of times a big struggle there,” says Nettles. “I think the message she’s sending and the fight that she’s fighting is one that as an artist, not just women, that we all relate to. The reality is this when you pull the curtain back on the music industry, it is not sexy at all … it is actually quite gross.”
Nettles says that it’s the artists who are hurt most when they don’t own their masters.
“What has happened in the music world is that the laws where streaming is concerned, the person (or entity) who owns the masters, get the lion’s share, not the artist. And when I say the lion’s share, I mean it is grossly the lion’s share. It’s parts of pennies to massive amounts of dollars. So then Taylor, in making the change she did and wanting to own her own masters, I can understand why she did it. We all want to do it because the reality is it’s unfair. Labels at the end of the day, if they do their job on the business end, in some ways they can be a bank and in some ways they can be marketers. That’s it. But the artists are the people creating the actual content and touching people’s hearts.”
She says the disparity leaves many artists disadvantaged, and fully supports Taylor’s mission to make change.
“It will take a legislative law change where rights and royalties are concerned in order to make a difference for artists,” says Nettles. “And the Grammys are doing wonderful work in advocating for artists where that’s concerned, but the labels, because they’re tricky and slick, and sometimes dark and backhanded, get in there before the artist does because they realize, ‘Oh wait a minute … if we can set this up this way, we’re going to make a killing.’ So that’s how they set up the laws to be. So yeah, I hear her fight and I support it. At the end of the day, I’m always going to support the artist. Always.”
