The John W. Engeman Theater is proud to present the smash Broadway and London hit, Waitress! Featuring music and lyrics by Grammy Award® winner Sara Bareilles and book by acclaimed screenwriter, Jessie Nelson, Waitress promises to be little slice of heaven this spring.
Jenna, a waitress (and expert pie-maker) dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. A county baking contest — and a handsome new doctor — offer her a tempting recipe for happiness. Supported by her sweet and sassy crew of fellow waitresses and customers, Jenna’s tale reveals the power of friendship and the courage to take chances.
Inspired by the beloved independent film and brought to life on Broadway by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, Tony®-nominated Waitress is cherished by audiences all over the world. Waitress offers a special recipe for finding happiness in unexpected places. It will move, uplift and inspire!
