Show Information

Waitress musical brings a heartfelt, pop-forward score and sharp ensemble comedy to a modern Broadway love letter to friendship, resilience, and reinvention. The show is a musical adapted from the 2007 film Waitress (written and directed by Adrienne Shelly), and it features music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles with a book by Jessie Nelson. Directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Lorin Latarro, Waitress combines warm humor with serious subject matter in a way that feels both entertaining and deeply human.

The musical first premiered on August 2, 2015 at American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before opening on Broadway on April 24, 2016 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. It later transferred to the Ethel Barrymore Theatre and closed on January 5, 2020. The production returned to Broadway for a limited engagement from October 2021 through January 2022, and it’s also licensed for productions—giving audiences more chances to experience the story on stage.

Recognition followed quickly. In 2016, Waitress received Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Actress in a Musical (Jessie Mueller), Best Original Score (Sara Bareilles), and Best Choreography (Lorin Latarro). The show has also been widely noted for Bareilles’ singer-songwriter voice—balancing pop-inflected melodies, emotional ballads, and comedic character numbers with a tone that can shift from light and funny to powerfully intimate.

Story Summary

Jenna Hunterson is a small-town waitress and gifted pie-maker trapped in an abusive marriage. After an unexpected pregnancy, she searches for a way out—finding courage through friendship, a complicated romance, and the dream of building a better life on her own terms.

Onstage, the show builds a vivid “diner world” centered on community and routine, using pie as a recurring theatrical and emotional motif—Jenna’s inventive pies reflect her inner life. That everyday warmth is paired with strong ensemble comedy, creating contrast with the story’s darker domestic scenes. With its contemporary pop musical style, Waitress invites you into a world that feels familiar, funny, and ultimately empowering.
