Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller has taken Broadway by storm. From her knockout performance as Carole King in Beautiful, to now turning heads as Jenna in Waitress, Mueller can do it all. And her credits don't stop there.

Mueller has also starred as Melinda Wells in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever opposite Harry Connick Jr, which earned her a Tony nomination, and as Helena Landless in Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. She has also starred as Carrie Pipperidge in Lincoln Center's concert of Carousel, opposite Nathan Gunn and Tony Award winner Kelli O'Hara, and she took part in the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park production of Into the Woods as Cinderella. She starred opposite Amy Adams, Donna Murphy and Denis O'Hare.

Jessie Mueller's current gig in Waitress began previews last week and has already caused quite a buzz on Broadway for this season. It recently broke the house record for the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a Waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a chance at escape, Jenna must weigh her commitments against a rare shot at freedom and recognition. Her customers, co-workers, and the town's handsome new doctor all offer her conflicting recipes for happiness- but Jenna must ultimately decide for herself.

In honor of Waitress' arrival on Broadway, BroadwayWorld is inviting you to fill your afternoon coffee break with some of Mueller's most memorable performances. Take five below!
