Waitress is a heartfelt musical that tells the story of Jenna, a talented pie maker stuck in a small-town diner and an unhappy marriage. Dreaming of a better life, Jenna finds solace and creativity in baking pies, pouring her hopes and frustrations into each recipe. With a soulful score by Sara Bareilles, Waitress explores themes of empowerment, self-discovery, and the healing power of love and friendship. From its bittersweet moments to its sweet triumphs, Waitress serves up a deliciously uplifting tale that resonates with audiences long after the final curtain falls.
