Centre Stage To Present WAITRESS This May

Centre Stage has announced the upcoming production of the Tony-nominated musical Waitress, running from May 1-18, 2025. With music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles and a book by Jessie Nelson, Waitress tells the heartwarming and inspiring story of Jenna, a small-town waitress with big dreams, who finds unexpected strength and courage when faced with life's challenges.

Set in a small town where Jenna is trapped in a loveless marriage and struggling with an unexpected pregnancy, Waitress takes audiences on a sweet and uplifting journey as Jenna begins to believe in herself again. Supported by her quirky co-workers and loyal customers, Jenna finds hope in a baking contest, a new doctor, and ultimately, in herself.

Brought to life by an all-female creative team, Waitress features a score of original music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles, including the chart-topping hits "Brave" and "Love Song," and a powerful, heartfelt book by screenwriter Jessie Nelson. The musical, which was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a perfect blend of humor, romance, and emotional depth that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
