Review: WAITRESS THE MUSICAL at ZACH Theatre
by Joni Lorraine - July 01, 2025
WAITRESS was originally a small indie film with a big heart. Written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, the 2007 movie told the story of Jenna, a Southern diner waitress with a knack for pie-making and a longing for a better life.
