Jenna Ushkowitz News

Charitybuzz's new auction offers a chance to meet one of Broadway's funniest performers.

The hit Broadway musical WAITRESS' Tony-winning star Jessie Mueller and its Grammy-nominated composer/lyricist Sara Bareilles will be signing copies of their original cast recording at Manhattan's Upper East Side Barnes and Noble, 150 E. 86th Street, on Tuesday, August 23rd at 4pm.

Jenna Ushkowitz made her Broadway debut as a child in the 1996 revival of THE KING AND I and came back as a swing in the original production of SPRING AWAKENING.

Based upon the 2007 motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly, Waitress began performances on March 25 and opened April 24 at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47th Street). Since then it has welcomed plenty of special guests, and over the weekend, original Dr. Pomatter Nathan Fillion stopped by. Check out photos below!
