San Francisco Playhouse will serve up a holiday treat with the beloved Broadway favorite "Waitress," directed by San Francisco Playhouse Producing Director and co-founder Susi Damilano with music direction by Dave Dobrusky and choreography by Nicole Helfer. Featuring a tasty, tuneful score by Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles and a fresh-baked book by Jessie Nelson, this sweet musical confection follows Jenna, a waitress for a small-town diner. Trapped in a loveless marriage and unexpectedly pregnant, Jenna copes by crafting perfect pies and dabbling in a whirlwind romance with her doctor. A baking contest offers Jenna the hope to escape her unhappy life as she chases her dreams and rediscovers herself along the way. Based on the Fox Searchlight Pictures film of the same name written by Adrienne Shelly, "Waitress" was nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original Score and ran for nearly four years on Broadway followed by a limited return engagement. Time Out New York said, “the whole dish is love at first bite,” while The New York Times said the musical “rises to transporting heights and sweeps up your heart along with it.”
