A Night Out at the Theater: The Theatrical Sensations Currently Sweeping the Globe
| August 31, 2018
Waitress
Waitress, which opened on Broadway in 2016, is based on an indie movie of the same name which came out in 2007. The film, which starred Keri Russell, tells the story of a young waitress who sees a pie baking contest as her only escape from an abusive relationship and an unwanted pregnancy. Pop singer Sara Bareilles wrote the music and lyrics, and later went on to play the lead character for a much-hyped six-week run in January of 2017. Fans of the show adore the catchy lyrics, engaging story, and the sense of onstage realism. In fact, there are real pies baking as the audience comes into the theater, with slices available for purchase.
