Waitress

A waitress at Joe’s Diner, Jenna learns about a pie-baking contest that could change her life and offer the chance she needs to escape her husband. Based on the movie of the same name, Sarah Bareilles transformed this critical darling into an inspiring and uplifting musical as refreshing as a slice of marshmallow mermaid pie.

A preshow talk is offered in the West Lobby 30 minutes prior to curtain.

Listen to the original Broadway cast recording featuring Jessie Mueller, Keala Settle, Kimiko Glenn, Nick Cordero, and more on Spotify.
