FULL SYNOPSIS

WAITRESS
June 25 - July 19, 2025
If life were only as simple as pie… Composed by Grammy® Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles (“Love Song,” “Brave”), WAITRESS is a heartfelt musical adaptation of the beloved film by Adrienne Shelly. The musical follows Jenna, a talented pie-maker trapped in a troubled marriage, grappling with an unexpected pregnancy while working at a small-town diner. Dreaming of a fresh start and her own pie shop, Jenna fears she may have to bake her aspirations away. Filled with friendship and the thrill of a new romance, Bareilles’ score features modern classics like “She Used To Be Mine,” “What Baking Can Do,” and “Opening Up.” WAITRESS is a smash hit musical, baked from the heart, that celebrates resilience and the pursuit of happiness.
