Tony Award winner Laura Benanti performed a duet with Connie Britton on this week's episode of NASHVILLE on ABC. The actress is currently guest starring on this season of the musical drama as new recording artist Sadie Stone.

In the episode titled "I Feel Sorry For Me", Britton's Rayna goes after Sadie Stone as a new artist to sign to her record label Highway 65. In order to woo her, Rayna invites Sadie out for a girl's day on the town, which she thinks may help to seal the deal.

In an interview featured in yesterday's The Hollywood Reporter,' Benanti teased a return to the Great White Way. "There is the possibility of a Broadway show for 2016 that I'm very excited about," shared the Tony winner.

NASHVILLE airs Wednesdays (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
