One of the most beloved Broadway musicals in recent seasons makes its way to Theatre Raleigh in a new production that will make you laugh and touch your heart. Featuring unforgettable music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles, the story centers on Jenna, a baker who dreams of escaping her job, small town and rocky marriage. Adapted from the 2007 film, it’s an uplifting and inspiring celebration of friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a homemade pie. Waitress promises to be a sweet slice of musical heaven!
