This production is also a celebration of the late composer Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the musical.
"The curtain comes down, and we erupt into cheers. It is such a heavy lift," Bareilles said.
"The lyrics are difficult and the music is so difficult, and it really takes a highly skilled group of people to pull it off," Headley said.
