Waitress

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life, such as The Key Lime to Happiness Pie and Betrayed by My Eggs Pie. When a baking contest in a nearby county and a satisfying encounter with someone new show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, this irresistible hit features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson, choreography by Lorin Latarro, and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus. Based on Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 indie film, the original Broadway production earned four Tony nominations including Best Original Score and Best Musical. This 10th anniversary North American tour, launching in Owensboro, Kentucky, celebrates a decade of Waitress resonating with audiences through Bareilles’s gorgeous, emotionally rich score.
