Review: WAITRESS THE MUSICAL at ZACH Theatre
by Joni Lorraine - Jul 1, 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. The film quietly built a loyal following, beloved for its quirky charm, honest emotion, and bittersweet tone.

In a modern verse translation by Alison Carey and Directed by Aneesha Kudtarkar, this isn’t your typical Illyria—this is a world joyfully reframed through an Asian American lens, where identity and tradition intersect in deeply resonant ways.
