Now Turn Off Your Cellphone
Sara Bareilles recorded a special opening jingle for Waitress the Musical on Broadway, which was also used on the First National Tour and West End productions.
Using the melody from “Cassiopeia” from her 2013 album, “The Blessed Unrest,“ Sara asks the audience to ‘now turn off your cellphone’ before the opening bars of ‘What’s Inside‘ commence. The background vocals of ‘sugar, butter, flour’ also use Sara Bareilles’ pre-recorded vocals.
Lyrics
Come in close
Now it’s time to tell you one thing
Every show can be ruined by a
“Brrrring, brrrring”
Now’s the time do it while I sing
Cause no one’s gonna like you
If your phone rings
Hurry up, so that we can start the show
Thank you so much!
Now turn off your cellphones
