Audience members who attend the new Broadway musical WAITRESS will not only get a feast for the eyes, but a feast for the nose as well!

Audiences at tonight's preview of WAITRESS got to see a very special performance when part of the set for the diner stopped working. While the show was paused so that the crew could make the necessary adjustments - the show's Grammy nominated composer/lyricist Sara Bareilles got on stage to sing a cut song from the show as well as 'Part of Your World' - a Disney classic by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.

Can't wait for Waitress? Neither can we. It's just weeks until Sara Bareilles new musical begins previews at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre and the company is hard at work to get the show ready for Broadway. We stopped by the rehearsal room earlier this week, where we caught Ogie's big song, 'I Love You Like a Table,' performed by Christopher Fitzgerald and Kimiko Glenn.

What happens when Tony winner Jessie Mueller belts out one of Sara Bareilles' most poignant pieces? Pure magic. Below, watch as Mueller performs 'She Used to Be Mine' in rehearsal for WAITRESS.
