ABOUT THE SHOW
If life were only as simple as pie…
Composed by Grammy® Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles (“Love Song,” “Brave”), "WAITRESS" is a heartfelt musical adaptation of the beloved film by Adrienne Shelly.
The musical follows Jenna, a talented pie-maker trapped in a troubled marriage, grappling with an unexpected pregnancy while working at a small-town diner.
Dreaming of a fresh start and her own pie shop, Jenna fears she may have to bake her aspirations away.
Filled with friendship and the thrill of a new romance, Bareilles’ score features modern classics like “She Used To Be Mine,” “What Baking Can Do” and “Opening Up.”
"WAITRESS" is a smash hit musical, baked from the heart, that celebrates resilience and the pursuit of happiness.
Approximately 2h 35m (includes intermission)
