Waitress at Gargaro Theater

Pittsburgh Regional Premiere

A musical baked from the heart!

Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. Faced with an unexpected pregnancy, Jenna fears she may have to abandon the dream of opening her own pie shop…until a baking contest in a nearby county and the town's handsome new doctor offer her a tempting recipe for happiness. Supported by her quirky crew of fellow waitresses and loyal customers, Jenna summons the secret ingredient she's been missing all along — courage.

Featuring the memorable and moving songs, “She Used To Be Mine,” “What Baking Can Do,” and “It Only Takes A Taste.” Waitress is inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film and offers a special recipe for finding happiness in unexpected places. The musical celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, family, and the beauty of a well-baked pie.
