Colleen Ballinger and Todrick Hall have officially opened up in Waitress! As BroadwayWorld previously reported, the two YouTube sensations are heading to the diner for a limited engagement in the hit Broadway musical Waitress as Dawn and Ogie, respectively. To celebrate the duo heading to the diner, we're getting to know the two stars and their musical theatre backgrounds. Check it all out below!

Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as "The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie" and "Betrayed By My Eggs Pie."

Brought to life by a groundbreaking, all-female creative team, this Tony Award-nominated hit features original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson, and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus. Colleen and Todrick are set to appear in the production for a special limited engagement through September 15th.
