Sara Bareilles is coming back to musical theater.
Following the hit Fathom Events theatrical run of her Broadway smash “Waitress,” the “Love Song” Grammy winner is teaming with Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award nominee Sarah Ruhl to adapt Meg Wolitzer’s 2013 novel, “The Interestings,” into a stage musical.
“I wrote the first song for ‘The Interestings’ before I even finished the book. To borrow a quote from one of our main characters: I have fallen in love … with a group of people,” Bareilles said in a statement announcing the news Friday.
“Meg Wolitzer’s extraordinary creation, ‘The Interestings,’ was such an immediate and fascinating world of humanity and ache and adolescence and regret.
