Bareilles found success after college, and racked up a string of hit albums, including “Little Voice,” “Kaleidoscope Heart” and “The Blessed Unrest.” Her hits include “Love Song” and “Brave.” She already has earned a Grammy for her role in the “Into the Woods” cast album. “Into the Woods,” with songs by Sondheim, who died in late 2021, takes fables like Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinderella and explores their unhappy consequences.
