[@karynrondeau64]

This destroyed me. What a beautiful soul. She's such an inspiration! I'm so glad you're here, Sara!!!! Welcome Home!!!😘

[@mmh1088]

Oh my heavens. What a story. I’d wondered why we hadn’t see Sara on Broadway in so long. Sara, I’m SO GLAD you are HERE and getting to be so present and full of joy in this show. Paul, this is one of your best interviews, you handled with so much love and care. Wow.

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Great Interview Paul. Addiction can be made salacious and tabloid like - you held the space for Sara to tell her story - and as someone else who is in active recovery, I am so glad shes still here sharing her talents with all of us and is happy and healthy

[@NicholousBailey]

What a clear eyed and well done piece of theatre journalism. Thank you for this. Sara is wonderful in W4E❤

[@MrBungee]

I had no idea why we hadn’t seen Sara on Broadway for so long. Thank you to Paul and Sara for sharing this story. I hope many people see this and are encouraged and helped. In ❤ with Sara now.

That was a lovely, articulate, warm interview filled with grace and gravitas. We had the pleasure of seeing Water For Elephants last week, and I didn't know Sara's backstory until now. The show is spectacular and she is wonderful in the role. I felt a sense of safety whenever her character was on stage. After hearing her story, it made it all the more special that she did the Red Bucket speech for Broadway Cares after the curtain call the night we saw it. Such an inspiring story, and so brave and thankless of her to share it with the world!

Incredible interview. So glad Sara is back, healthy and thriving.

[@danieltobias9742]

Thank you Sara and Paul. Very much.

[@johng7926]

Wow! So happy for Sara! She is an amazing talent. I hope the show is a huge success. She deserves it!

You are extraordinary Sara. Hearing your journey has not only touched and inspired me but will help so many others going through similar struggles. Words cannot express how much I admire your resilience, strength and willingness to share this tough experience. You have made a difference in the lives of many today- myself included. Keep shining and remember how strong you are. Much love to you ❤

This is one of the best interviews I have seen! And personally very meaningful and helpful to me.

[@jakebivens4450]

This entire interview is absolutely stunning. Sara is a goddess of the stage, and even more so for sharing this

[@damianthomas5300]

Thank you both for the incredibly open, vulnerable interview - she's a real life superhero.

[@vanessawanderlingh7408]

God bless her. So happy that she is healthier. It's scary that drugs that are used to help also do such harm. Praying for her and everyone else who faces addiction.

[@alvinmedina7121]

Sara I applaud you. I'm glad you are healthy and in a good place.

[@heatherrichetelli980]

Wow! I saw Sara tonight in Water for Elephants and she absolutely shined. I wondered what other roles she had been in because she reminded me so much of Cher! Come to find out, Sara has played the role of Cher and I actually saw her performance in Maine. I remember her being extremely emotional at the end of that show and I feel like I understand what she was going through after hearing this interview. So glad I came across this. You have a new fan Sara Gettelfinger. 🥰

[@QueenWhispers]

I want to know what drug it was. This is an incredible story. I am so happy she is here to tell it. Bravo! Keep on keeping on.

[@alvinmedina7121]

to anyone struggling out there . they're is always hope

[@OliviaNguyen95]

Sara has been my inspiration ❤️she is such a kind soul and sweetest human being ❤️

[@missdesmd]

This interview is life changing.

[@timrealbuto6608]

It really is. Thank you, Sara! ❤️

[@KariTSays]

Love you and do bet proud of you dear Sara! ❤❤❤

[@KACDWFCD]

Sara you are a Warrior♡

[@Huss417]

After watching this interview I plan on seeing Water For Elephants.

[@mykelcohen]

So proud to hear her tell her story. This is important. It is also eye opening to see that people in a union are not being drug tested and this is allowed to happen, just like in Hollywood. How? Every other union I know does drug tests and random tests often. What am I missing here? Seems like the union is not doing enough to protect people and the business itself. These are the kinds of things that make me not want to support this type of industry.

[@KACDWFCD]

Paul you are the best♡

[@woodewood]

everyone should see this.....

[@madelinebrennan7603]

Love the vacuum cleaner story (told with humility and humor...) The hidden skills actors have at their disposal...lol!

[@benrimalower]

Beautiful
