Why see Waitress?
Broadway's sweetest Treat
Based on a 2007 indie movie, this big-hearted musical tells the story of diner waitress named Jenna who's presented with a chance to leave her suffocating small-town existence behind, and grabs it with both hands! With a book by Hollywood screenwriter Jessie Nielson (Hope Springs) and an insanely catchy score from Grammy-nominated pop singer Sara Bareilles, Waitress is a melt-in-your-mouth hit!
WHAT IS WAITRESS ABOUT?
Jenna works as a pie chef in a small-town diner. Her time spent baking is a kind of meditation, a break from her mundane existence where her creativity is allowed to flourish. Renowned throughout the town for her crinkly crusts and fluffy pastries, she harbours dreams of opening her own pie shop and making a new life for herself. But when she becomes unexpectedly pregnant by her bullying husband Earl, it seems like she may have to abandon her dreams forever.
Hope is at hand in the form of the town's handsome new doctor, and the announcement of a pie-making competition in a nearby town. The winner of the contest will be awarded a large cash prize, and Jenna realises it may be her one shot at turning her life around.

Colourful, creative, enchanting
While many Broadway shows sweep you away into far away worlds and mystical settings, Waitress offers a simply charming slice of life from a small town diner with little to nothing going on.

Four of us went to see Waitress on the 29th and we loved it. The acting, singing and
