Lucie Jones has shared a new look inside rehearsals for 13 Going on 30 the Musical. The Waitress alum took to TikTok to debut a first listen to "Make the World" from the new musical adaptation of the beloved film. Jones attached a clip from the Jennifer Garner-led film, mirroring the part of the film that the song takes place in.
"I grew up crying at this scene in the movie, this song is so special to me. I can’t wait to sing it in the show," she captioned the post.
