Waitress
By: Jessie Nelson
Based on a film by Andrienne Shelly
Music and Lyrics: Sara Bareillies
Jenna is a young waitress and expert in making pies who lives in a small, desolate town. Her daily life is marked by the same hours, the same customers, among the cooking pots and frying pans, a colorless life with no dreams along with a forced pregnancy by a husband she’s stopped loving a long time ago. The arrival of a young doctor in town brings a new taste to Jenna’s life and to the life of her two waitress friends.
A musical with a unique flavor, aroma and emotion, accompanied by a live orchestra.
Originally Produced on Broadway by Barry and Fran Weissler Norton and Elayne Herrick.
*The play contains allusions to domestic violence.
