About Waitress
Based on a 2007 film by Adrienne Shelly, Waitress tells the story of small-town waitress and pie maker Jenna Hunterson, who falls in love with her gynaecologist, Dr. Pomatter, while she's pregnant. To start a new life for her and her child, she enters a baking competition to win a cash prize. Waitress features an original score by Grammy Award-nominated artist Sara Bareilles, with songs including "She Used To Be Mine" and "The Negative".
In a feature for LondonTheatre.co.uk, Tom Millward said Bareilles' "irresistible mezzo-soprano vocals evoke a wistful sense of vulnerability that makes her perfect casting for the role."
