Is WAITRESS: THE MUSICAL prepping for a big announcement?

Pop superstar Sara Bareilles will be singing some of her original songs penned for her upcoming mainstage adaptation of the adorable indie comedy WAITRESS on her new album and the performer recently shared a preview of the project via a tantalizing new video clip available here and recently confirmed wrapping the album, with a witty new social media photo now available to view, as well, and, now, the official American Repertory Theater page has posted a tantalizing update clueing fans in on casting news that is forthcoming, too.

The A.R.T. page shared a shot of Best Actress Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller from a workshop production of the show, commenting, "When putting together the #WaitressART casting announcement."

Of note, the workshop version of the show included Christopher Fitzgerald, Amber Iman, Bryce Pinkham, Andy Karl, Keala Settle, Dierdre Friel and Barrett Wilbert Weed, among others. The A.R.T. production is set to begin previews this August in Cambridge, Massachusetts, directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Mia Michaels.

This week, Bareilles posted a shot of the film's famous pie with the hashtag "#cantwaitress" this week, commenting, "don't know who made this but oh boy, I love. #cantwaitress".

The musical theatre newbie previously shared tidbits on the highly anticipated project via social media last month, as well, writing, "This is happening. #waitress #me #mynextrecord #manythings".

Additionally, Bareilles recently took to Twitter to share her excitement over the show, amusingly writing, "Oh boy. My heart is soaked with excitement. Watching this musical start to take shape is insanely gratifying and precious. #pee".

Yet, the real question remains: does she want pie with that?!
