Program: Waitress (musical) by Sara Bareilles / Jessie Nelson.
Waitress is the heartwarming musical that brings Adrienne Shelly's beloved 2007 indie film to vibrant theatrical life. With a Tony-nominated score by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, this contemporary musical follows Jenna, a talented pie-baker trapped in an unhappy marriage who discovers hope through an unexpected pregnancy and a pie-baking contest. The show made Broadway history as the first musical with four women in the top creative roles — composer, book writer, director, and lead producer — and earned multiple Tony nominations including Best Musical.
Expect an intimate, emotionally rich experience that balances humor with genuine heart. Bareilles' folk-pop influenced score features soaring ballads and clever, witty numbers that feel both contemporary and timeless. The musical's warm, kitchen-centered staging creates an inviting atmosphere that makes audiences feel like they're part of Jenna's small-town diner community. Whether you're drawn to stories of personal empowerment, love complex musical storytelling, or simply enjoy beautiful music, Waitress offers something deeply satisfying for theater lovers of all backgrounds.
