Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film, Waitress tells the story of Jenna - a Waitressand expert pie maker, Jenna dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow Waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.

The National Tour of Waitress opens tonight in Cleveland, OH at the Connor Palace Theatre in Playhouse Square. For more tour information, visit waitressthemusical.com.
