The Waitress star also shared a photo of Miranda, 41, on Instagram as he read from Sondheim's Look, I Made A Hat, a collection of lyrics.

She captioned the snapshot, "Singing the sermon of #sondheim. Together in community, in tears, in time. Lin reading from the book of Stephen, gathering us in, toward the soft ache of loss and reverence and memory and holding how we are all held by the work of this one man."

Bareilles added, "We don't know what we mean to each other. We can't possibly. It is everything.I am thankful for this warm, kind, musical heart made of theater going, loving, leading souls that is beating on this not so ordinary Sunday."

Groban, 40, commented on the post, "It was beautiful. ❤️"

The "You Raise Me Up" singer also told Variety, "Everybody who's here has a touchstone for why Sondheim's music has brought them to this place. And whatever part of the entertainment industry we're in, everybody is here because we were first influenced by Sondheim's music. To mourn his passing is a crushing blow."
