Waitress

Featuring original music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles (“Brave,” “Love Song”), Waitress promises to be a must-see treat for both Northlanders and visitors this summer. At the heart of this hit Broadway musical is Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie-maker in a small town, who dreams of escaping her rocky marriage. When an unexpected pregnancy and a local pie-baking contest offer her a shot at a fresh start, Jenna must summon the courage to rebuild her life and find her own recipe for happiness. Along the way, she finds strength in the support of her friends Becky and Dawn—and in the steamy affair she begins with her doctor. This “little slice of heaven” (Entertainment Weekly) celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
