Small-town waitress and expert pie-maker Jenna (Rachel Drance) dreams of a new life outside of her tumultuous marriage. Facing an unexpected pregnancy that complicates her desires, Jenna sees winning the grand prize in a pie-baking contest as her lifeline. With pals from the diner and a new romance in her corner, will she find it within herself to take this gutsy leap of faith? Featuring a delectable score by Grammy Award–winning artist Sara Bareilles, this energetic and emotional musical is a treat for the ears and soul.
Based on the beloved 2007 indie film written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, Waitress the musical premiered on Broadway in April 2016 with a book by Jessie Nelson and music and lyrics by Bareilles. It marked the first time in Broadway history that a production team was led by women.
The Arts Club Theatre Company production of Waitress runs at the historic Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage. Ashlie Corcoran directs this uplifting Broadway musical running from June 12 to August 3. Tickets on sale now.
