Waitress staring Sara Bareilles

[Cooper]

The play is based on the 2007 movie, "Waitress". It centers around the lives of 3 waitresses who work at Joe's Pie Diner. Jenna (Sara Bareilles) is a gifted pie maker and bakes a special pie with an unusual name for everyday and every occasion. She loves her job but has an abusive husband. When Jenna learns she's pregnant, she's unhappy but strikes up a romantic relationship with her new gynecologist, Dr. Pomatter (Drew Gehling).

 

It's an enjoyable musical with some amazing voices and songs. Sara Bareilles who stars in it also wrote the music and lyrics for the play. One issue some audience members mentioned was that it was over-miked. Some of the songs were hard on the ears.

 

The band is right up on the stage and takes part in the show. There's dancing, baking, romance, fighting, lots of laughs, and even an American Revolution themed wedding. At this occasion the band wears their 3 corner hats.

 

The play has been opened for awhile and the theater had many empty seats. TKTS was only selling premium seats at 50% discount. Got a less expensive seat at the box office.

Thanks for that.

 

This is a few years old but by the same artist and in the MeToo spirit.
