While I'm always excited for 9:00 PM on Wednesdays to roll around, tonight was particularly exciting for this self-proclaimed Broadway fanatic- and unless you've been loving under a rock these past few weeks, it's not hard to guess why. Broadway royalty, otherwise known as Tony winner Ms. Laura Benanti (who is also a fan of the show, I may add), officially made her long-awaited appearance on NASHVILLE (alongside Broadway veteran and seasoned cast member Will Chase), which begs the question, “Is there anything she can't do?” Apparently not.

'The Secret' works, y'all! Don't believe me? Ask Tony-winner Laura Benanti. The Queen of Social Media is about to kick off a run on her favorite TV Show tonight at 10:00pm ET. Benanti will play singer/songwriter Sadie Stone, on ABC's NASHVILLE.

On the next episode of ABC's NASHVILLE titled "How Far Down Can I Go", after Will's debut album bumps Rayna's to second place, she's more determined than ever to make Highway 65 and her record a hit.
