Six Beautiful Versions of Waitress’ “You Matter to Me” To M…

Sara Bareilles wrote you a love song for the new musical Waitress

, and it just makes your heart melt (especially when paired with that “Dear Baby” speech about being held for twenty minutes straight). Right now, you can see Katharine McPhee & Henry Gottfried perform “You Matter to Me” live in Broadway’s Waitress (while eating delicious cake and ugly-crying in the privacy of a dark theatre). But in case you need a sweet “You Matter to Me” moment right now, here are six of YouTube’s best performances of the duet.

Sara Bareilles & Jason Mraz


Two former Waitress stars come together for this stunning concert duet. It’s just perfection. End of story.

Jessica Vosk & Zak Resnick


Jessica (the current star of Broadway’s Wicked) and Zak are giving you a full-out performance. They sound so beautiful—Ms. Vosk brings those Elphie vocals at the 3:35 section—and that dance by Broadway’s Melanie Moore & Brandt Martinez just knocks you out.

Emma Hatton & Andy Coxon


These West End stars are serving VOCALS. Another former Elphaba ready to turn up on this number. It felt so full and romantic. I bought everything they were selling.

Malinda Kathleen Reese & Jonathan Estabrooks


It’s giving me such an epic vibe, which is fun because normally this song is so intimate. I’m getting Meatloaf/Celine vibes with that loud piano and the rich power ballad singing style. I was totally swept up in this video.

Natalie Weiss & Blake Anderson


Natalie Weiss actually has two versions on YouTube rn (the other features Brad Greer and is just as swell), but this version is tops because Blake won a video competition to perform opposite Natalie in London—and he’s incredible. You aren’t ready for what he does from 4:50 to the end.

Peter Hollens & Evynne Hollens


Stop it right now with this! Not only does Peter give you a little a cappella version of the song, there’s some beefcake dancing it in desert. Then, Evynne comes in like a little angel. The woman dancing Evynne's verse is giving me major SYTYCD, especially when the two dancers come together. I truly lived the entire time.

Check out "Waitress" at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre.
