Video: Watch the Trailer for SARA BAREILLES: GOOD GRIEF Documentary

The doc will open in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and over 35 other cities across the US on September 2.

By:

Josh Alexander’s feature documentary, Sara Bareilles: GOOD GRIEF, will receive a nationwide release this fall. The doc will open in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and over 35 other cities across the US on September 2.

The film boasts marquee executive producers including legendary singer, songwriter, and activist Alecia Moore, aka P!NK, New York Times bestselling author, activist and producer Glennon Doyle and Olympian, author and podcast host Abby Wambach, and will be distributed by mTuckman Media. The release coincides with the debut of Bareilles’s album of the same name on August 28, as well as a headlining tour through the fall.

The film offers an intimate, unfiltered portrait of Bareilles’ return to the recording studio with close friends for the first time in seven years—a cinematic document of her creative process that becomes a profoundly personal, ultimately hopeful meditation on loss, grief and the power of music to heal. A masterclass in creativity, community and vulnerability, the documentary serves as a reminder of music’s extraordinary power to connect us to ourselves and to each other.

Bareilles made her musical theater composing debut with Waitress, which premiered at the American Repertory Theater in 2015 before transferring to Broadway in 2016. She released her memoir, Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) in Song, and the companion album What's Inside: Songs from Waitress in 2015. She portrayed Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid at the Hollywood Bowl (2016), performed during the Academy Awards (2017), and made her Broadway acting debut as Jenna Hunterson in Waitress (2017), returning to the role in 2018 and 2019. 

In 2018, Bareilles portrayed Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, co-hosted the 72nd Tony Awards with Josh Groban, and received a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score for SpongeBob SquarePants. Waitress opened in London's West End in 2019.
Bareilles made her West End debut in Waitress (2020) and returned to Broadway in the Waitress revival in 2021. 

In 2022, Bareilles starred as the Baker's Wife in the Encores! and Broadway productions of Into the Woods, earning a Tony Award nomination. She recorded "When You Wish Upon a Star" for Disney's 100 Years of Wonder campaign (2023), co-wrote "Look for the Light" for the third season of Only Murders in the Building (2023), and produced and starred in the filmed version of Waitress: The Musical (2023).  Her new musical, The Interestings, will premiere at Berkeley Rep in 2027, directed by Michael Arden.

Bareilles was also a close friend and frequent collaborator of the late Gavin Creel, with whom she shared the stage in Waitress and Into the Woods. Creel’s death in 2024 is among the profound losses explored in Good Grief, with Bareilles reflecting on their friendship and the process of navigating grief through music.

Bareilles is also helping to carry on Creel’s legacy through The Gavin Creel Fellowship, an initiative from the American Theatre Wing created in partnership with Celia Keenan-Bolger, Catherine Brunell and a collection of Creel’s friends. The program will support five emerging theater actors annually with $25,000 grants, mentorship, networking opportunities, access to American Theatre Wing programs, theater tickets and more.
