Huckleberry Haywood is inspired by the lives of singing waiters at the infamous Ellen's Stardust Diner. Original book by Stephen Tyler Davis with music and lyrics by waiters Stephen Tyler Davis and Taylor Bridges under the direction of David Glenn Armstrong.

Huckleberry Haywood is tired of waiting. Leaving his family legacy in the dust of Haywood County, Alabama, he sets his sights on bigger things: New York, new freedom, new friends and his voice as a young writer. Instead, he finds himself at a singing diner on Broadway, serving disco burgers in roller skates. Forced to confront his personal demons, Huck must discover who he is, where he's from, and who he's waiting to become.
