Featuring original music by Sara Bareilles (“Brave”, “Love Song”), Waitress is the hit musical that is “a little slice of heaven” (Entertainment Weekly). Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's film, this story offers a heartwarming recipe for finding joy in unexpected places. Jenna, a waitress and skilled pie maker, grapples with a loveless marriage and a small-town life. When an unexpected pregnancy challenges her dreams, a baking contest and a charming new doctor offer her a chance at happiness. With the support of her quirky colleagues and loyal customers, Jenna discovers the courage she needs to pursue her dreams.
