Waitress is a homespun tale that features music and lyrics by Grammy Award-winner Sara Bareilles (Brave & Love Song). Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker, dreams of a way out of her small town and a rocky marriage when a pie-baking contest in a nearby county offers the winner a big cash prize. Entertainment Weekly calls Waitress “a little slice of heaven.” As a multi-platinum recording artist, Bareilles serves up a delicious score that brought a whole new audience to Broadway with her empowering story about the family we choose, told with extreme heart and irreverent humor.
