WAITRESS tells the story of Jenna, a
Waitress and expert pie maker in a small town, who dreams of a way out of her loveless marriage. A baking
CONTEST in a nearby county and the town's new doctor may offer her a chance at a new life, while her fellow
Waitresses offer their own recipes to happiness. But Jenna must find the courage and strength within herself to rebuild her life. This new American musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.
